Lemmy.ca currently shows 22 comments on this post, but its native instance, lemmy.ml, shows 35 comments.
It’s not (or not only) a matter of only older comments being present, or of comments being from different instances: for example, this comment from a lemmy.ml user doesn’t appear on lemmy.ca but this later comment from a different lemmy.ml user does.
Is this a known problem?
Good questions, to be sure. I presently don’t have any answers for why that would have occurred, but I definitely see that the federation around that post is totally inconsistent - the post on sopuli.xyz has even fewer comments than here: https://sopuli.xyz/post/18413
And now that I’ve had a look at lemmy bugs, I can see why it’s occurring: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1820
Fortunately it’s being worked on!
Man, I’m tired today. So that bug was closed and the timeline of that post you noticed was the same time frame.
I need to update our backend here, which I will do once I’m a little more awake, but I expect that very little regarding this issue should be noticed after lemmy.ml updated.
Have updated the backend to 0.13.1 now.
Great, thanks! I guess I will post again if I see still see it happening with future comments.
