Most of the communities I’m interested in are on lemmy.world, programming.dev, etc where they have a large activity there, but the UI/UX of kbin is what’s holding me here.
However, I feel like not all upvotes downvotes and even comments are federated to kbin, so I never get to experience the real hype of certain posts.
I’m wondering where the bottleneck is? Is it a certain i stance not pushibg to kbin.social, or is it kbin.social not being able to handle this huge amount of streams?
Also, if it’s the latter, would I have a better experience if I were to host kbin myself?
If federation updates were missed e.g. during the DDOS attacks, on Lemmy or just when instances were creaking from reditMigration demand, these updates won’t be resent. Instances never activity seek out missing information to resynchronize.
…basically if it has been weeks, it’s just not going to happen.
Also worth noting downvotes don’t federate they are only know to each local instance.
My perception is that it is all working pretty smoothly now. I quite often switch between my Mastodon account and kbin and they always seem to be aligned.
Its not that one post is weeks behind and just got missed in a federation update. Its that zero posts have been federated in weeks. Its not a skipped record, its entirely halted.
That’s very much not what the post I replied to describes. I quote:
What you are describing sounds more like you are looking at a community/magazine which hasn’t been subscribed to from the other instance so, by design, posts don’t clone. This is expected and intended behaviour.
I think you misread communities as posts. The entire communities are up to weeks behind, not just certain posts from them
and no we’re not talking about unsubscribed communities.
