@[email protected] poVoq got it but there's several things going on.
If no one on your instance follows that community, you're not going to get new posts for it. There are some cases where history / chaining is fetched, for example, lets say you receive a comment, and the parent commenter is from another instance. Or someone from a third instance comments on a post of a community you're subscribed to. As long as that parent commenter is from an instance thats allowed (IE in the allowlist or open federation), it will pull it.
OK, makes sense. I don't envy you keeping track of all those edge cases...
Thanks for working on Lemmy and taking time to answer questions!
No probs.
Ah, good point about commenting.
