Is this a duplicate post from one you submitted 6 hours ago?

Amazing explanation throughout and super insightful. I don’t believe Lemmy has gilding type emphasis outside of the upvotes, but you deserve it.

I noticed this as well. The lemmyverse list of communities showed big numbers, but Lemmy.world would show maybe < 100. The way I saw to identify active communities (outside of your list) was to look at the posts themselves. Seeing the upvotes and comment numbers definitely let me know there were more than just my Instance being active.
