Why some community’s appear empty in kbin while if you go to their instance they have posts?

    I think there are policies from some instances on Mastodon around crawling so it would have to be done carefully and preserve server sovereignty.

      I kinda get it for microblogging platforms, the content is probably changing too quickly for that. Do any Lemmy/kbin instances have similar rules? Fetching something like top-10 posts of the week doesn’t really add any serious traffic.

      But an api call made specifically for that is definitely a better option. I wonder if it’s being discussed between the devs.
