Take a look at this same post, from four different instances:
From the server it was originally posted on (currently at 9 comments): https://lemmy.ml/post/1244889
lemmy.world (8 comments): https://lemmy.world/post/112477

This just doesn’t make sense to me. I thought the entire point of all of this was that you get the same content regardless of which instance you’re on. But clearly, I’m seeing wildly different results. Why?
I could be wrong, but I think this has to do with server load, all of these instances are trying to synchronize between each other and some of them are keeping up better than others.
I posted this same post on r/redditalternatives and got a similar response, that lemmy.ml is going through it right now and causing sync issues.
Just makes me paranoid that whichever instance I browse Lemmy from, I’ll be missing some content.
