Well I’m on lemmy.world, which I understand to be the largest instance, so I assumed someone would probably have subscribed before me.
https://lemmy.world/c/trendingcommunities@feddit.nl still comes up empty for me, but on https://feddit.nl/c/trendingcommunities I can see three posts.
I’m also struggling to load some of the comments on this thread, they just keep loading endlessly. If lemmy.world needs to run some sort of process to fetch posts from federated instances then maybe these two issues indicate that the server is overloaded at the moment? Sorry for my cluelessness, I’m new to the fediverse.
I think the community is very new, so there’s a decent chance you were the first. As to the overloading problem, it’s certainly possible. Lemmy.world has a ton of users, and while I know ruud is dedicating a lot of resources to your lemmy instance, it just may not be enough to keep performance great. There’s been a lot of reports of performance problems by both lemmy.world users and federation problems between .world and other lemmy instances, most likely from being overloaded. You might try setting up a secondary account on another instance if you’re inclined, can’t hurt. Then at least you’ll be able to compare. Mine is on sh.itjust.works and everything has been pretty decent for me since the latest software upgrade, just as a point of reference.
No worries mate, we’re all new here. I’m still getting used to things too.
