Thanks for the clarification. Could get complicated, especially with smaller remote instances…
The good thing is that it can be automated. On the flip side it works that way to reduce the load. Makes no sense in getting all comments if no one is going to read them. But I agree that once a user clicks on a thread, comments need to be fetched from the remote server.
Hm, I have to ask again: initially thought I had to follow a user on the remote instance, similar to mastodon. But is that possible in Lemmy? See it only in kbin. Because the remote community in question I have subscribed to before posting.
No. You can only follow communities but that is enough.
Please check something. Make sure your community is set AT LEAST to both English and Undetermined languages.
In your user settings make sure you have selected at least English and Undetermined.
This could be what's happening and why you can't see the comment.
Ok, got it. In this case it was something else: on my local instance it showed that I subscribed to the community, but on the community page itself it was stuck in status pending. Subscribed again now, hopefully this solves the problem.
Oh, I see. That makes sense. That would explain why your instance didn't receive the comments.
