I cannot see comments made by lemmy.world instance when logged in to discuss.online. Not sure if any other instances are affected this way. I also cannot search some communities. I have not figured out a pattern. I wonder if it is intentional. Here is an example: https://discuss.online/post/202378. There are a few comments under the post, but I do not see them.

    Federation of messages is limited to communities in which at least one account on a Lemmy instance has subscribed to on another instance. At that point, only new posts and comments of that community will be federated.

    Thanks for highlighting this. I’m looking into it now!

      If you search for the comment’s federation link (Example: https://lemmy.world/comment/728524) you can pull the comments locally.

      It appears that by searching for each of the comments, I could pull them down. This makes be believe it’s not an issue with sync but an issue with broadcast.

      I’ll keep looking into this; that specific thread has been pulled down for now. Let me know if you need help pulling any more down.

      Just by pasting the full URL of any Lemmy page or link, you can fetch it locally on the search page: https://discuss.online/search

        I think same applies to communities. I was not able to find this community in “search,” so I had to modify the URL to directly point to it to see it.

        Thank you for looking into it! FYI, the upvotes value for the post if off too.

          It looks like lemmy.world was all experiencing a DDoS attack. So some things didn’t sync well—some things we’ll have to trigger to sync manually.

          I will work on a solution for this to pull down missing content. Until that’s done, we’ll have to manually “search” for URLs to sync data.

            Thank you for the update! I created that community over a month ago, and the post was submitted 15 days ago. I’ve been seeing the issue ever since, just decided to report it now.

              lemmy.world has been overloaded and the victim of a lot of attacks, unfortunately. It’s created some funky behavior. Hopefully, what I make can help resolve it. It will take me a bit to wrap up though.

                Got it. I heard about it, hoping thing would improve after Lemmy 0.18 update. Thank you again for the quick reply and for setting up the instance!
