I've been browsing communities in other instances, and I noticed that sometimes not all comments show up when viewing from different instances.
For example, this post on [email protected] shows having 17 comments when viewed on beehaw, but only 6 when viewed from lemmy.one:
Here are the links to the post:
Is this just a quirk of how federation works or is it specifically a problem on my end?
I came here to ask this exact question..... I think I may see what's going on, from me looking at posts in was looking at being logged in Lemmy via Lemmy.one, and not being logged in on a web browser...... Comments I noticed that were not showing on my logged in Lemmy.one session, were from individuals coming from instances that are blocked by lemmyone, like lemmygrad.ml or something along those lines..... Someone correct me if I'm wrong? If so I wish that was something that would be up to the end user in the future
Since lemmy.one blocks lemmygrad, we aren't able to see any comments from those users, even if they post in unblocked instances like lemmy.ml? If that's true then I'm not sure I really like that...
But it seems like my problem is different since the comments I can't see are from beehaw.org users, which lemmy.one doesn't block. Perhaps it's just having trouble fetching older comments, since newer posts and comments seem to load correctly.
