I’ve created an alternative (copy) version of r/cooperatives. Given the nature of Lemmy, this is a much better place for this kind of a community.
I copied them out of the original subreddit, but also removed the old links and provided some updates. It’s a really good database and it should not go down with the corporate hellhole the Reddit became.
This is related to how federation works. At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
