“minor changes”

To add another example here, I saw the same behavior on this post: https://lemmy.ml/post/1136642. Right now it has 43 comments on lemmy.ml but over on my instance (link) there’s only 18.

It’s also unclear to me why some posts are not showing up, since the new ones (4h ago) appear, some old ones (7d ago) too, but some in the middle (6d, 5d ago) do not, which doesn’t really make sense…

That’s a good point! I think we usually hear about millions of users and don’t realize the scale you need to serve the thousands that’d be in each instance…

I’ve seen this post today showing users on each instance: https://beehaw.org/post/466182 It’s not automated, but the op said they’d post updates too :)

But the new users can join any lemmy server and still interact with everyone, so ideally the load would be distributed throughout all the instances instead of making one of them overloaded.

Awesome! Subscribed :)

From a quick scroll through my subscriptions I think these are the ones I’m most looking forward to: r/dynastyff, r/futebol, all the cat related ones, r/diwhy, r/atbge, r/gtbae, r/outoftheloop, r/unraid, r/writingprompts, r/youdontsurf.
