Hello,
If I open: https://lemmy.world/c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml and https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support in 2 different tabs, I don't see the same posts at all, even with the same sorting option selected.
Is it just because the servers are overloaded and there is some delay in the synchronization?
Thanks for your help trying to understanding the fediverse inner working.
This has been my experience with every community so far.
Even when I open the same post from 2 different instances nothing is the same and additionally, sometimes even the comments will load up for half a second and then everything disappears and it says
0 comments.Finally, this is the same even for entire communities. Same community, 24 subscribers in one instance, show 2 from the other.
This has probably something to do with the fact that content is pulled only after users subscribe from another instance, etc. I'm not exactly sure how it works for now but it could even be a bug.
Yup, this. I can't find a link to explain it, but when you subscribe to a community that your server hasn't seen before, only the latest 20 posts/comments are pulled in.
Yeah it's something that needs fixing since even right now in this thread I might be having a conversation with you but someone else seems completely different comments and not ours, nor are we seeing theirs.
It's unintentional fragmentation further than the one already existing due to federalization.
The ecosystem needs to be more consistent.
It's frustrating - but I think it'll stabilize to some degree once we have more instances that have existed for more than a week or two.
Yes, this is one of the most confusing thing to me about Lemmy right now. Trying to see content from Kbin on lemmy is very weird also. If I go to lemmy.world/c/tech@kbin.social, I can access the community but without any posts, and at the same time sh.itjust.works/c/tech@kbin.social gives a 404.
Here is how you fix this. Not ideal, but you can do this.
