Missing comments from subscribed community on another instance? (jamie.moe)

I do the majority of my Lemmy use on my own personal instance, and I've noticed that some threads are missing comments, some large threads, even large quantities of them. Now, I'm not talking about comments not being present when you first subscribe/discover a community to your instance, in this case, I noticed it with a lemmy.world thread that popped up less than a day ago, very well after I subscribed.

At the time of writing, that thread has 361 comments. When I view the same thread on my instance, I can see 118, that's a large swathe of missing content for just one thread. I can use the search feature to forcibly resolve a particular comment to my instance and reply to it, but that defeats a lot of the purpose behind having my own instance.

So has anyone else noticed something similar happening? I know my instance hasn't gone down since I created it, so it couldn't be that.

I would just give it time. I think those instances have some scaling issues and things take time to sync.

Do you have other users on your instance?

I noticed it took a day or two to “catch up” as I added and federated with new communities on these instances.

Again, I haven’t really dug in. They have seemed okay (I do have accounts on those instances too). It seems once everything is “caught up” and it’s just incremental it goes smoother.

But are you seeing any resource constraints on your instance? Like cpu or ram?

All by myself. Plenty of room for activity. We'll see if it catches up or just end up creating a larger divergence! And yeah, I do have account on lemmy.world as well, so it's just extra song and dance for now.

Oh I see your account is only 14 hours old. Yeah I would give it another 24-36 hours to do pulls and look then.

Everytime I add a community I start with all the links and all have 0 comments. Then after a while they sync up. I used fediverse.net to just start pulling all sorts of communities. But at this point it seems okay. My instance has been up for a few days now.

New instances are popping up all over so those bigger ones have a lot of servers syncing with them.

Yeah, there are ways around the de-sync (albeit super manual) for now, so I’m just waiting and seeing for the time being :)

@freeman @chiisana how do you pull instances from fediverse.net?

[–] chiisana@lemmy.chiisana.net 1 points 1 year ago

I’m not sure what you mean by pull instances. I’m really brand spanking new at this. Sorry!
