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

32 comments fedilink hide all child comments

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.

Head to https://lemmyverse.net and click the Home button at the top right and type in the URL of your instance.

Flip from instance to community at the top.. Then you can click on a community name and open it in a new tab

Heres one as an example

If you get a 404 like this you havent loaded/synced it yet.

So you need to go to your instance search and copy the !link below it into search Like so.

Mash the search button a few times and the community will show up. Some of the isntances are overloaded and slow as hell though. So be patient. Sometimes I have to change the search filter from all to community and back.

Now the community will show up in your instance and slowly start syncing. Note the 0 Comments on everything. The syncing is slow right now.

Also for kbin instances (ie: kbin.social and fedia.io), The ! format doesnt seem to work.

For those I have to just search the full URL. Like so.
