What Lemmy .. Group do you follow ( still not sure how do you call them)

For now I just have :

- @share_your_art
- @piracy
- @vim

I'm sure there are more interesting ones that I'm not aware of :)

And the best part you dont even have to have an account there thanks to #activitypub and the #fediverse

To make the link work,

I signed up for a profile on https://sh.itjust.works
I searched for the community on https://browse.feddit.de to get the link
I copied and pasted the link into the search field of https://sh.itjust.works
searched for Monero and the community now showed up

Had to do all that to make the link work. 🤦

Yeah this looks like a pain point at the moment. I'm going with "I'm a newb to lemmy's way of linking" by default as I'm sure I'm just doin it wrong. If not, hopefully that can be made more seamless, or the knowledge of how to do it the right way can spread far enough that it becomes a non-issue.

It's taken me awhile to figure out stuff. I'm still confused about certain things as well.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I'm still a newb but I've managed to learn a lot the last week or so

Thanks! I did have a question about comments.

When I view an external post from my home instance, it has less comments than the source. Does it eventually catch up? How long does that take usually?

Here's screenshots of what I'm talking about. My home instance is monero.town and the post has 39 comment. When I click the rainbow fedilink icon that takes me to the source instance at beehaw it has 70 comments.

Will my home instance eventually show 70 comments as well? It's a 2 day old article. How long does it take?

I feel like I'm missing out if I don't go to the original source every time. But if I go the original source, I won't be able to comment or upvote because I'll be on their instance instead of my home instance.
