    Yeah on Lemmy.sf.org the Apple@Lemmy.ml community has most comments missing. But stuff like Memes@Lemmy.ml seem to be synced better. Maybe there wasn’t subscribers for Apple community until I subscribed? So now it is just slowly starting to sync up? If so how long does it take and how many days back will it got to fetch comments?

      To add another example here, I saw the same behavior on this post: https://lemmy.ml/post/1136642. Right now it has 43 comments on lemmy.ml but over on my instance (link) there’s only 18.

      It’s also unclear to me why some posts are not showing up, since the new ones (4h ago) appear, some old ones (7d ago) too, but some in the middle (6d, 5d ago) do not, which doesn’t really make sense…

        Yeah this is pretty frustrating especially being it seems this asklemmy community is working fine…? Hard to grasp what’s going on with comments. 😕

        I think it’s because of the server overload some instances have been suffering. It might be affecting sync between instances in addition to the timeouts for user interaction.

          if there is overloading going on then there should be retrying. Seems that this isn’t happening or the retries are so late it ruins usability.

      Yep. For me it also matters whether I’m using my beehive account or my feddit.nl (much smaller instance) account. Guess it’s just part of the federated part, but it’s a bit annoying all the same
