I'm the mod of Japanese Metal. For a few days now, the community appears empty to me, both on Liftoff and my browser on my desktop.
Edit: it's fine if I view it on my lemm.ee account, but that's not optimal.
What might be the cause, and how do I fix it? Anyone with a similar problem?
Don't browse by Hot, that filter is broken. Use top day, top 6 hours, and/or New. None of them are perfect but you can quickly view most of the content if you switch between them. They will fix the Hot and Active filters eventually but for now it's a bit DIY.
But it doesnt change te fact that some of my subs are much more active / populated when viewing through my other instance account. Of course its hard to tell which instance is "to blame", but some things are weird.
Something is definitely going on. I posted a bug to an app community on Lemmy.world and found it never showed up half a day later and may still not for all I know.
