Why do some posts and communities not show up on all instances? (lemmy.ml)

Reddit refugee and Noob to lemmy/fediverse here.

For example, I'm currently logged into my lemmy.ml account, and subscribed to !anime@lemmy.ml and I can see a lot of posts there. I can also see that it has over 3K users.

If I log into lemmynsfw.com, and look at my subscription to !anime@lemmy.ml, I only see a few posts, and I know there are several that are missing. Also, it tells me that the community only has 8 users.

Is this synching problem common in lemmy, and/or the fediverse in general?

Do I have to create a new account on each server hosting communities that I want to keep up to date on?

I’m not sure but it might be that they defederated? A fair number of instances don’t federate with nsfw ones. Here’s an explanation of defederation: https://lemmy.world/post/149743

Both instances list each other under Linked Instances, on their respective instances pages, fwiw.
