Comment on Not seeing communities

Hmm,
No idea how accurate that is - know nothing about anything, please take it into consideration - but I think this may be the case: the instance show every post from every federated instances that are subscribed by people in the instance?
If you're on europe.pub and you subscribe to "!flippanarchy" than all people on europe.pub will gain the ability to see their post in the "all". Until at least one person do it, it's only "potentially" connected.
Could it be the case here?

Well I see it now, maybe someone else from europe.pub can confirm as well.
Thank you I didn’t know that communities are not shown until someone is subscribed to them.

I think that it only federates new posts after someone subscribes as well, so when viewed on your instance it may not have as many posts as the community’s instance.

That's what I heard, but, again, it's all confusing to me as well :)
