different states of the same post in different instances? (lemmyfly.org)

I've subscribed on my new instance lemmyfly.org to !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml. One post (by me) on there (postfix issues, possible to use sendgrid?) has 4 comments. But when I click on that post from my own server timeline, it shows an earlier state of the post with 0 comments.

Maybe I don't understand the federation well enough yet, but shouldn't the state of a post be similar no matter from which instance you look at it ?

edit: I see different comments on this post when looking at it direct on lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support and on https://lemmyfly.org/c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml

My own comment posted from lemmyfly.org, does not show under this post at lemmy.ml, only on my own instance ? This is why I edit the main post to write this. Is it supposed to work like this ?

Old comments aren't synced, so you'll only see new comments.

I think you can also get it when you specifically search for that comment.
You'll for sure get it if someone replays to that comment.

A correlary to this is that it gets better. Sadly, things feel most weird and confusing at the moment you're new and signing up for a lot of subs and dropping into partial views of existing conversations that haven't replicated to the instance where your account is because you subscribed partway through the conversation.

It gets better though. By tomorrow, "most" posts you're interacting with will have been posted after your subscription and you'll see complete views of the comment chain. It's unfortunate that things behave weirdest when you're least equipped to process it, but push through and the weirdness settles down.

This sounds like a bug…

I did a test comment to see if that will arrive.

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hasn't arrived. Maybe it will work for future posts to the community.

I've had some success with searching for specific comment URLs indeed. The reply part I don't know for sure.

So, I see these comments when looking at the post via lemmy.one. But I don't see them from here https://lemmyfly.org/c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml I wrote a comment through lemmyfly.org, which doesn't show here

If you're logged in on your server, maybe you don't have English and undetermined selected in the language settings?

Well when I visit without an account it's 0 comments as well, so it's not this issue.
