There’s been a couple of replies saying this. The point of the post was to make sure and raise awareness. Appreciate the input either way.

Fair point I do often forget about federation delays.

I would assume even if the comm was new if it grew organically, older accounts from other instances would filter in as well.

That’s the problem, ol mate is hosting on his own instance for that very reason I suspect. Though I could be misunderstanding Lemmy’s naming/backend scheme.

That is the best suggestion but it fixes the problem for only me. Lemmy seems to be getting more and more users so the amount who lack the knowledge to avoid such communities will grow.
