A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

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

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.

All by myself. Plenty of room for activity. We'll see if it catches up or just end up creating a larger divergence! And yeah, I do have account on lemmy.world as well, so it's just extra song and dance for now.

Oh I see your account is only 14 hours old. Yeah I would give it another 24-36 hours to do pulls and look then.

Everytime I add a community I start with all the links and all have 0 comments. Then after a while they sync up. I used fediverse.net to just start pulling all sorts of communities. But at this point it seems okay. My instance has been up for a few days now.

New instances are popping up all over so those bigger ones have a lot of servers syncing with them.

Yeah, there are ways around the de-sync (albeit super manual) for now, so I’m just waiting and seeing for the time being :)

@freeman @chiisana how do you pull instances from fediverse.net?

[–] chiisana@lemmy.chiisana.net 1 points 1 year ago

I’m not sure what you mean by pull instances. I’m really brand spanking new at this. Sorry!

[–] freeman@lemmy.pub 1 points 1 year ago

So looking more. Yeah it may be more active threads are behind. Here’s an example that’s out of sync on my instance right now
