27, he/him. interested in all things tech, music production, and gaming. i write songs your girlfriend would probably listen to.
I remember being a small child posting to forums I had no business posting to, asking obnoxious questions about building websites or talking in IRC.
I remember always expecting a response that wasn't very happy with me. You have to start somewhere right?
Nope and never did.
Ha! Love it when people post troubleshooting in real time. I have both undetermined and english selected, so I don't think that's it.
Self Hosted Lemmy instance comments terribly out of sync?
Is anybody else running into this problem?
My federated posts are appearing in my timeline quite well, however I've noticed that significant portions of the comment section are not being carried over.
For example, I'll see a post on my instance with 13 comments. I'll click on the fediverse icon to take me to the original source and that has 43 comments. Where did those 30 comments go?
The worst part is, I can't seem to figure out a way to "force sync" or refresh the page to make sure all the comments are carried over. Because of this, I feel like I'm only getting part of the conversation and I'm unable to reply to comments that don't appear on my instance.
Does anybody have any solutions to this problem? It's literally my one huge issue I have with my own instance.
So I did figure out that yes, (https://jammer.social/tags/Mastodon) can federate (https://jammer.social/tags/Lemmy) and (https://jammer.social/tags/Kbin) content. The problem
Hm, that's very interesting. I wonder if the platforms will build upon each other with future updates or if they'll continue to remain "seperate" in terms of formatting and QoL. Very interested in the future of cross platform federation accounts.

I tried my best to use mastodon as a platform to post to lemmy/kbin but ran into a major problem: nested comments get lost to the ether, and there's no way for you to reply to them using the same account.
Because of this, and basically this alone, I decided to forfeit mastodon all together and opt for a self hosted lemmy instance. I just got it set up and running this evening and so far, I'm not looking back.
Might set up another mastodon instance later, but that's if I start to miss it.
