    As someone who runs a discussion community, !actual_discussion@lemmy.ca

    I get this every time I have to play devil’s advocate. People get SO DAMN MAD on here despite their poorly argued positions…

    People barely know why they believe something, let alone why someone else should believe the same.

        Oh wow, it’s odd that only those are showing. Admittedly I’ve been kind of lax about making the weekly threads, but there’s certainly a lot more than four in the last two years!

            Your Lemmy instance only fetches posts from an other instance’s community if at least 1 person on your instance is subscribed to it.

              If that’s the case why do I see random posts over 2 years

              When I subscribe it should load them all

                Perhaps someone on your inatance was last subscribed to it 2 years ago. When you subscribe, your instance doesn’t tend to fetch older posts, only posts made after subscribing.
