The OG version is no longer FOSS and was sold to some shady company. So far there doesn't seem to be any changes to the old one yet but I'm sure they'll creep in sooner or later.

Seems like there's been some small improvements to the new version too when it comes to the look and feel.

Edit: just refreshed the comments and all of a sudden 3 other people already explained it, all 30 mins ago? Huh.

In regards to your edit, federation means sometimes updates are less synchronous than immediate. Some server somewhere got hung up on the way to serve you that data; maybe your own instance, the OP's, or some third instance or multiple out there in the interwebs. I don't have the technical knowledge to explain beyond that though.

Issues with federation. I get notifications for comments from days earlier sometimes

Fair enough. Downloading both, and they'll have to battle it out by giving the best updates
