MODERATORS
Just to add... It is really not true to be told it doesn't matter what instance I'm on when in fact it seems that it really does matter if I'm interesting in participating in comments (or just reading them).
Well, you CAN participate, subscribe and read the community of another instance. You don't have to be part of the other instance to do so.
Just make sure you are browsing / searching all and not just local.
I am reading and writing this from kbin and not even Lemmy btw.
I’m aware of how it should work. But click the two links above.
Since I originally posted this thread only 3 comments are newly visible on my local fedi while the origin fedi (Lemmy.ml) still has 26 comments. So it took over a day to sync 3 comments made days ago? 🤨
What’s frustrating is not all communities are this out of sync. AskLemmy is staying pretty close to immediately synced. Other communities (on same origin server) can be more behind.
If you are the first to subscribe to one from another region, it takes a while for comments to sync. Once it does, you can read and comment to your heart's content.
It doesn't take a while for comments to sync. Comments from before the first user subscribes simply do not sync.
Understood. The first user to subscribe may see it take a whole for the comments to sync.
That was my experience.
You can interact/reply to people from anywhere in the Fediverse.
For example - this is my Mastodon account. I can see your post and reply to it just fine, from Mastodon.
