How do comments federate? (lemmy.one)

I notice on some posts I look at them through my instance and see less comments than if I go to the page on the instance of the post. Is this expected? I never really quite understood how it works but makes me wonder how much I’m seeing

This post earlier in the day I think had some good information on this subject.

There is a lot of syncing going on across instances so part of it could be due to some comments just not being federated yet or it could be that the one with less is not federating with as many other instances and missing some users that federate to the other.
