    Hmm, the original thread/community seems to be at beehaw.org, right? Since both of the threads you linked to are referring to the community “Programming@beehaw.org”.

    Beehaw is even down right now, so I am guessing that any syncing issues with other federated instances might be caused by a bottleneck at beehaw.org…?

    I still don’t fully understand how Lemmy works though, so I am not sure.

      Yes, you are right. But it had 3 days to sync. The oldest comment is 3 days old. Here is the same thread visible from another instance, much more up to date. I hadn’t noticed that beehaw.org is down though. That could explain it. I still find it odd that this instance would not have a single comment on this thread over these 3 days but… yeah I’ll take that explanation for the time being, I’ll check again when I notice beehaw is back up.

      Do you know how the fediverse works regarding this?:

      • If I comment now on that thread on any instance, say, on lemmy.world or on the other I just linked, does it need to first sync to beehaw before it propagates to other instances or would other instances get load my comment even while beehaw is down?

      If we take beehaw being currently down as a possible explanation for not seeing any of that thread here then I suppose first the comments need to reach beehaw.

      I may as well ask another question, any idea how I would find that thread easily on lemmy.world? I tried pasting the full URL in lemmy.world’s search but didn’t find it, I had to manually go into that community in lemmy.world’s instance and dig through the history to find it. In this case I assumed I would be able to find it by searching the full URL since the thread already is visible in lemmy.world, even if with no comments.

        beehaw.org is back up. So lets see how long until that thread updates on this instance.

        edit: Ohh… but beehaw.org is blocking lemmy.world So what would that mean for lemmy.world? Would the normal behavior be that we can see the thread’s main post but not any comment?! I thought it was the other way around though, that they don’t get any content from lemmy.world but lemmy.world can still fetch theirs.

          No, the block goes both ways. Lemmy.world cannot see anything on beehaw.org, and beehaw.org cannot see anything on lemmy.world.

          Think of it in terms of one user blocking another on a regular social network.

            We’re all still learning, but check your facts before posting this type of info so you don’t add to confusion about defederation.
            @sss had it right. We can still see posts from beehaw, just not comments. If we comment on the posts or make our own posts, they only show up on !gaming@beehaw.org and won’t go to beehaw. And syncing seems to be about 3 hours behind there, but that could just be the general sync issues right now, unclear.
