I started a private instance today, and maybe I’m being impatient but I’d like to know if there’s something I can do on my end to keep my instance more closely in sync with the remote communities I’ve subscribed to. I don’t seem to be missing any new posts, but there are so many missing comments which makes the sort options (Active, Hot) bring up posts that sometimes are weeks old. Are there any configuration options or tuning options that could help my instance “keep up”?
I’ve said it other places, but this is the issue.
Lemmy needs to be considered at a high level.
There is too much redunancy. Too much emphasis on each ‘lemmy’ being everything that a reddit would be.
Lemmys should focus on supporting niche interests. Users should sign up to those and enjoy the rest of the fediverse through federation.
These monotlithic instances are kind of ruining it, but its also designed that way.
