Like I said, I'm already on a different instance (feddit.uk) but the instance I'm on seems a bit flaky. There are communities on other instances that don't show any content, whereas they do on lemmy.world. I'd heard that lemmy.world was handling the influx of new users quite well in comparison, so thought I'd try to switch.
I can't have at it, that's the problem, that's what I'm looking for help with. If I try to sign up the progress spinner never stops and there are errors about closed websockets in my browser developer console. That's what I'm seeking help on.
(in terms of propagation, there are ancient posts in c/cricket@lemmy.ml that I can see via lemmy.world but not on my "home" instance of feddit.uk. In fact on feddit.uk c/cricket@lemmy.ml appears entirely empty and has for several days).
It's worth noting that federation only kicks in AFTER someone subscribes to a community,.and only for new comments and posts on that community. Is it possible that you're looking at several-day old posts, where someone from
lemmy.worldsubbed last week and so they're fully filled in... But someone onfeddit.ukonly subbed yesterday and so you only see comments from the last day or so but are missing the ones before that?If that's what's going on, it happens on all instances (though obviously on bigger/older ones the odds are better that someone else subbed before you and you won't notice), and it self resolves. A few days from now, you'll mostly be looking at posts that have been made since you subbed and you'll get a complete view of them. For old posts, click the fedi-url icon to visit them on their home server... you'll get a complete view but won't be logged in to vote/comment.
