Missing comments from subscribed community on another instance? (jamie.moe)

I do the majority of my Lemmy use on my own personal instance, and I've noticed that some threads are missing comments, some large threads, even large quantities of them. Now, I'm not talking about comments not being present when you first subscribe/discover a community to your instance, in this case, I noticed it with a lemmy.world thread that popped up less than a day ago, very well after I subscribed.

At the time of writing, that thread has 361 comments. When I view the same thread on my instance, I can see 118, that's a large swathe of missing content for just one thread. I can use the search feature to forcibly resolve a particular comment to my instance and reply to it, but that defeats a lot of the purpose behind having my own instance.

So has anyone else noticed something similar happening? I know my instance hasn't gone down since I created it, so it couldn't be that.

I have the exact same issue with my own instance. On the post you mentioned, I'm seeing 383 comments on lemmy.world, but my own instance only shows 128 comments.
