Good remark, probably correct, but it’s not just that either, I go into the version of chapotraphouse from my instance and see no comments anywhere, but when I see the community from hexbear, the same post has 32 comments, still some syncing underway. That and I can still only find hexbear communities by their name and not with a “hexbear” search. I’ve tested this from two different instances that have not blocked hexbear.
