EDIT: everything is alright as it is. But just in case others run into the same “problem”, I’ll keep this post public for others to see (if that’s ok, of course)

The original question:

Please be gentle as I am a total noob on this site and I’m still in the process of figuring out how any of this works.

Shortly after I joined, I created https://lemmy.world/c/breath_of_the_wild and I’ve been uploading my content from reddit to that community since then. Today I got a question from someone on kbin.social and I decided to check out this other instance(?) only to find out that “my community” is run by another dude over there: https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]

I have no idea who this Ernest guy even is, but as you can see this is clearly 1:1 the content I posted to my own community. I’ve literally never spoken to him before. What’s that about?

    Huh, weird. When I click that link, it does show the community and the sidebar/rules, but not a single post. Is that supposed to happen?

        As long as it does start syncing eventually, that’s fine with me. I would just have found it weird to kinda “block” that particular community/magazine/etc. across all instances if the end users don’t even get access to the content.

        … but then again, the Fediverse is probably just overwhelmed ATM so things like these slow down for a while. It’ll probably get better once the dust settles a bit after the reddit exodus (reddodus? rexodus? exoddit? I can’t think of a good portmanteau)
