Eventual Consistency Between Instances? (self.support)

I was curious how the synchronization behaved between instances so I posted a comment while lemmy.world was on 0.17 and temporarily disconnected from lemmy.ca. I noticed that even though lemmy.world and lemmy.ca are on 0.18.1 and 0.18 now, the comment still has not gotten to lemmy.ca. If a comment is posted while there is a network partition of some kind, do the comments eventually get through or are comments only synchronized between instances when they are posted?

Fair enough. Yeah backlog reconciliation would be really nice especially for new instances that spin up. It would be nice if you could do the "site:lemmy.world [search query]" trick at some point. Without backlog reconciliation that may not work as well.
