Not seeing comments when in another instance?
When on lemm.ee, the instance I have an account on, I don't see comments on a post in another instance (lemmy.world), so I cannot interact with/reply to a comment on that post. When I go to lemmy.world itself and go to that post, I see comments. However, since I don't have an account on that instance, I cannot interact with that post.
I'm still incredibly new to lemmy/the fediverse/etc etc so please let me know what I'm doing wrong!

You're viewing a single thread.
Is lemm.ee new? You will only pull in comments and posts on stuff that was posted after your instance was created. Not only that but I think it also only pulls in content from communities once a user subscribed to it - so if you newly subscribed to a community, it will pull in a few recent posts IIRC. But if you find an older post it won’t grab the comments. I think
Can confirm. On my own instance I stood up yesterday and seeing that behavior.
lemm.ee is about a day old I think (based on posts). the post I'm trying to interact with is 3h old, and I just subbed to the community about 20 mins ago. so does that mean I just have to wait and eventually the content will come through or it'll never come through?
I don’t think it will come through unless it’s forced to somehow. For example, if someone tagged you in a reply in a comment on that post.
Damn, that really sucks
