- Number of votes for posts and comments differ from instance to instance (sometimes drastically, 300 vs 30 for example)
- Number of comments differ from instance to instance (meaning you can “miss” some comments on one instance, because they simply aren’t there)
- Order of posts and comments differ from instance to instance (even with the same sorting option)
- If you leave the post open in the tab, you can come back to that tab later, only to see that it is a completely different post than the one you opened, but the comments are still from the original post.
- On the front page, more post will sometimes randomly start loading from the top, those posts usually come from a specific community and are old posts (sometimes very old)
Does anyone else experience this?
Are those simply bugs, “features”, problems with specific instances, or just the shortcomings of this kind of platform?
There is one more comment on this post at the time that I’m writing this, and I cannot currently see it on this instance, even though it’s been posted 19 minutes ago apparently.
I can see it from beehaw.org and feddit.de instances, and can’t see it from the lemmy.ml.
That’s quite a delay, I do hope they do something about it, to make it more responsive.
It says 4 comments but I can only see 3 from lemmy.world, and even from the post’s own instance discuss.tchncs.de. Looking from beehaw.org it says there are 6 comments, but shows 4? and feddit.de shows the same comments but says there are 5? Weird.
Yep, weird. And I got notification for your comment instantly…It almost seems random.
