There's a bit of an issue with federation in general at the moment, it's being worked on. But also if you were first from your instance to subscribe to this community, I believe (feel free to correct, someone more knowledgeable than I) it now starts pulling in new posts but not necessarily going back and pulling in old ones.
One thing you can do is pull posts or comments in manually. If there's a particular comment you want to reply to, search for it's original URL on your home instance and it'll not only pull over that comment but also the post itself. If you just want the post to show up and don't care about any comments, search the URL for that instead.
Not ideal behaviour but we just need to work within the limitations for now.
That makes sense. A bit of off-putting for those who want to interact and lurk on both old an new haha
I know they're working on making it more friendly in that regard. Until that happens, though, I may multi-account it.
Keep in mind that Lemmy is basically still beta. A lot of functionality hasn't been implemented yet.
I've used live betas before. This is the most functional live beta product I've ever used. To be fair, I used it several years ago, and 0.18 is MUCH better and more complete than whatever version I used back then. The devs have done a great job with the improvements, and I'm sure they'll continue on the same path!
Beehaw is still on 0.17. A bit rough around the edges but ok. I'm really curious on 0.18 though.
0.18 has its own issues, but definitely fixes many of the issues from 0.17.
Yeah, i've read that captcha will be available with 18.1 again. That'd be relief for all admins.
That should help significantly reduce bots creating bot accounts. I Iook forward to that!
