    Are there still issues with cross-instance content? Previously, if I signed in to lemmy.ca and subscribed to a channel on .ml, I didn’t see all content. Likewise, if I left a comment from my .ca account, it wouldn’t necessarily show up for users on .ml.

    If this is still a problem, it’s a HUGE roadblock in being able to just tell people to join other instances, if we don’t want to fracture an existing community.

    Edit: That may have simply been a result of the excess load?

    Edit 2: Okay I’m testing and it looks like this was just an issue of load; I don’t seem to be having any further issues with this.

    Edit 3: Comments from users on lemmy.world still don’t seem to propagate correctly. I can see them from .ml but not .ca


  • The problem is that the server owners are asking people not to do this because of the excess load, and currently cross-instance content simply isn’t working correctly. If you join another instance and subscribe to lemmy.ml/c/ps5, you don’t see all of the same content; likewise, content posted by people on the other instance doesn’t all filter through to the .ml instance.

    So telling everyone to join .ml is crappy, and telling everyone to join a different instance is also crappy. We’re hoping that the lemmy devs get the issues sorted before the blackout ends so we can start directing people.

    This whole system doesn’t work when you don’t see the same content from two different instances. I have a lemmy.ml account and subscribe to a community on lemmy.ml; I also have a lemmy.ca account, but if I log in there and subscribe to the same community from lemmy.ml, I don’t see the comments.

    So if I actually want to interact with the community, my account needs to be on the same instance. From my reading I can’t tell if this is intentional or a bug, or permanent or temporary. Either way, it’s happening.

    So you’re going to see this with every community migrating from Reddit because people want to follow the community.
