Ok, so I have some code to crawl a posting of a community and compare two servers for comments missing. It looks bad today. Both of these servers are version 0.18.0 and have been upgraded for several days.

The number of comments is based on loading comments, not the counts at the top of the posting.
Are these new comments, or are you considering comments from the initial subscription? Lemmy doesn’t fetch comments when the community is pulled down.
These are well-established servers, and all the postings I shared are off the 50 most recent postings for a community, fresh.
For which communities though? I’m just trying to understand exactly what you tested, since this might not be showing a problem (at least, not one that’s not in the design).
you can click the links and see, validate it yourself. I’ve been reporting this Issue in GitHub for weeks, it is a major problem in the code performance.
This very posting (almost 3 hours old), and your comments, have not even made it to outside servers. Beehaw does not show it, this is new posts on Beehaw:
Ah sorry, I missed the
# onat the start; I thought you were just linking servers.While I understand why you’re doing this (and having it constantly running would give some good metrics), I assume you could modify your script to search for missing comments and force them over? This would also be useful for backfilling comments on initial view.
I appreciate that this would be addressing the symptoms not the cause, and perhaps delay the cure.
