My understanding is that when an instance subscribes to a magazine or community, the instance is effectively subscribing to updates and so the local cached copy is kept up to date. That, of course, breaks down when there are issues with federation. I do wonder: are you seeing this with all non-local magazines?
It seems that there is still some problem with certain lemmy instances. For example, lemmy.ml actively blocks kbin based instances (like fedia) and so I don’t think the magazines (lemmy calls the communities) coming from that instance are being updated.
I'm not seeing this with all non-local mags, but I'm def seeing it with all non-local mags that I'm subscribed to. I first thought it was a problem with subscription and tried desubbing and subbing again, but it doesn't seem to have an effect.
It's not a very breaking problem when it comes to threads, but it is when it comes to comments, because sometimes even if a thread (post) is mirrored, it's incomplete and thus I cant participate in a specific comment tree.
