Why are communities on Lemmy.ml more full compared to the same on a different Lemmy instance? (lemmy.sdf.org)

For example, I’m on Lemmy.sdf.org and I joined the [email protected] community. But there are many missing articles and comments. If I browse directly on Lemmy.ml for the same article there ~90% of comments are missing.

I think it's because of the server overload some instances have been suffering. It might be affecting sync between instances in addition to the timeouts for user interaction.

if there is overloading going on then there should be retrying. Seems that this isn’t happening or the retries are so late it ruins usability.
