A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

A. They're camping on it
B. They created it and invited people to post, but the invitees didn't, so no natural content growth has occurred
C. Your particular instance or fediverse software only recently indexed the community and can't see it's post history. The way Lemmy federation works, when a new community is "discovered" on a remote instance, only new content posted after the comm was indexed by your LOCAL instance will ever appear. Post history pre-discovery can't be indexed.
Or your software just straight up doesn't interpret Lemmy posts right.
Ohh, so for C you need to wait a few hours/days? Interesting.
Yes, if it is an active community you will eventually see new content begin to appear once your instance becomes "aware" that it exists.
If youre not sure of it's activity, or you suspect it's not federating right, you can always hop over to the community's original instance and look at the comm directly to see how much activity there is.
