Why are there no posts?
Hard to say the exact reason without being ab admin.Could be inconvient downtime, could be a bug, could be anything.
I don't know why a lemmy.world user can't see posts on aussie.zone, but I can confirm whatever the issue is, is not because of downtime.
I have a lemmy.world account, I'll experiment a bit tonight and see whether I can replicate the issue.
Obviously this account is on aussie.zone and I can only a handful of posts across all local communities, something is definitely up.
There will be multiple reasons. I suspect this mostly co.es down to lemmy.world being victim of a DDoS recently.
Additionally the Lemmy code itself now has mechanisms to stop instances forever trying to send content to offline instances. The code isn't perfect and has been known to have false positives. I'll check tonight if this may be the case here, though this was supposed to be addressed in Lemmy 0.18.4.
There are other possibilities, but these are most likely in my mind.
Are new posts and comments appearing in those communities since you've subscribed?
Are upvotes different between instances as well… if you are on another instance an article might have x number of upvotes when you open it to read it or look at the comments it has a different number? It doesn’t seem to be consistent though…
