    How does that work? Is it because you’re on a different instance? I’m genuinely curious, I am still trying to use my smooth little brain to understand how this federation thing works.

      Yes we are all on different instances that don’t involve lemmy.ml. It takes time to understand and some aspects can be overwhelming, but the value becomes clear especially in situations like this.

          Absolutely amazing. Not only that, in the homepage, I just click “All” and “New” and posts keep popping up in real time too, it’s super responsive. Gone are the days where I had to refresh to see new posts!

            They will come back. The websocket code that powers it is being replaced with more scaleable plain HTTP code as I understand it. There are also several bugs with the auto refresh freaking out at times, resulting in old posts filling your feed.
