Still trying to get my bearings here.

My account is through Lemmy.World and when I visit the Movies and TV community through lemmy.world/c/moviesandtv@lemmy.film, I only see a few posts. But when I visit https://lemmy.film/c/moviesandtv, there’s a lot more activity.

Did I mess something up in my settings or is this normal? Do I need to have multiple accounts for other instances?

Thanks, y’all.

    It would be cool to have some sort of federation map, that shows which communities have federated and which have not. Maybe it already exists?

    EDIT: After a quick google I found this article

    https://googlemapsmania.blogspot.com/2022/11/the-map-of-fediverse.html

    that mentions

    http://fediverse.space

    which should show which instances are federated. But at the moment it doesn’t seem to work for me. Just loads infinitely until “something went wrong” pops up.

      lemmymap.feddit.de is a map that shows a few things. Clicking blocked shows the corresponding connections. It doesn’t show the direction, but hovering over will show you an instances number of blocks. Some of the data could be wrong, though. Last I checked every instance is listed as no downvotes. The defederation with beehaw showed up pretty quickly though.

      One note, maybe don’t click the ‘open’ checkbox because that tries to show every connection and blows up my browser!

        Oh nice, this actually exists. But not very usable - I just get a big cloud of text and it’s very difficult to get a sense of what’s being shown.

          It’s incredibly fiddly, lol. As a tool for understanding some of the fediverse’s concepts I’ve found it marginally useful

            Ah, for that, yes. But for checking status of certain instance connections, not really.
