I wish when you subscribe for the first time from another instance it would populate it with the comments that viewers of that community from that instance see even if you can't interact with old comments.
Finding a community then joining lot of times leads to the place looking dead until you view it from the instance of that community and all of a sudden see there is discussions there. But, return back to viewing from your instance and it'll never populate with the old content and only the new.
Is this a Lemmy specific issue? I've never noticed that you seem to be describing with kbin. But I don't really understand it. Do you have to subscribe to see posts on Lemmy? Cause on kbin, you can see threads fine for communities and instances you've never subscribed to. And when you do subscribe, you can see older posts and comments.
I've discovered countless Lemmy communities to subscribe to in the first place from viewing kbin's equivalent of /all.
If I understand things correctly, communities from other instances aren't going to appear on the front page of kbin.social until a user first subscribes to them. It's good for getting exposure to active communities that you weren't aware of, but some of the more niche and low volume communities from other instances aren't going to start appearing until a user proactively goes looking for them.
