I found an active thread in a sub on another instance I’d like to participate in. When I sub to the thread from sh.itjust.works there are no comments; I assume that’s because sh.itjust.works only starts syncing communities after the first subscription. So now I can either read the thread on an instance I don’t have a login for, or participate in an empty version of the thread on sh.itjust.works.
Is there any way to participate in the active thread at this point? Thanks.
edit: Just checked my subscription to the new community is [pending]. Maybe that’s it?
edit2: Thanks to @Barbarian I can at least sub to one of the pending communities, and the others are on lemmy.ml, so I’ll just wait those out.
Does that get you comments too? In another thread OP said they were trying to access [email protected] and when I go to that community via my instance, i see the posts but no comments. And its obviously been a bit since it started syncing. Our instances arent blocked
It’s got me comments before.
It sounds like you’re trying to get comments from posts to sync, rather that query individual comments.
You should be able to load this comment, for example: https://exploding-heads.com/comment/29311
But I don’t know of a way to force all comments on a remote post to load.
Yeah comment loading works, damn so I read on another comment that it only syncs new content when you are the first to subscribe? Not the end of the world but not ideal lol
Interesting. So this means everything should sync with any new posts to the community then?
I guess so, ill keep an eye out on new communities and see what I can piece together https://lemmy.world/comment/136761 This was the comment btw
It depends on if that instance has blocked your instance that you made your profile on, i know for example beehaw has blocked exploding heads (for very little reason tbh) so now i can’t comment there but on here i can see your comment and give my two cents
