I’m very new here but I decided to check and compare the posts in a community on lemmy.world (where I have my account) and that same community on the instance where it resides and the posts were almost all completely different! Is that how it’s supposed to work or are they supposed to be synced? Sorry if this is a noob question, I’m new here

    I’ve been working on a bot, and when things are working it synchronizes almost instantaneously, including edits to posts and new comments. Any significant delay should be rare.

    There are a bunch of reasons why things might be out of synch - load issues, software compatibility (lemmy.world is still on 0.17.4 while lemmy.ml has upgraded to 0.18), bugs… It helps to keep in mind that Lemmy is barely more than beta at this point.

        No, the bot edits the post on one instance, and I view the post on Lemmy.world using this account.

            I don’t understand- are we talking about the same thing? I’m talking about how fast changes are synchronized between instances.
