This has nothing to do with federation, reddit was a single system and had the exact same issue. It’s simply a result of having communities that overlap in topics, or articles that are relevant for multiple communities.

The key is that each of these posts has a different discussion due to the different community it is in, isn’t that good?

Nope, Lemmy.ml

Ugh, on Android (Samsung s22) can’t even log in… Login form spins a bit but does nothing, user name shows on top left, subscribed communities are fetched but nothing else works (subscribed feed empty, inbox says need to login, etc. …), restarting resets back to anonymous.

I think I saw one of your earlier posts and I really appreciate you chasing this down and raising awareness. As a relatively savvy user this is definitely something I’ve noticed and I share your concern that it will slowly erode user’s trust in the concept of federation.

Technically, can you trace where the comments are dropped? does the target receive the response but fails to process it, or does it break somewhere at the network layer? if so, is there no receiver “ack” built into the protocol? sorry for asking a bunch of questions and feel free to ignore (I’m an engineer but I don’t know much about the federation protocol…)

I wonder if some instances are more prone to drop comments that others? have you looked for example at lemmy.world (very large but performant) and another relatively small instance?

same, sadly unusable at this point

Same here, mostly works fine

Workaround on Jerboa (maybe also other apps, haven’t checked) - turn on “hide read posts” and simply upvote/downvote as you scroll. Upvoting/downvoting marks posts as read in Jerboa even if you haven’t clicked in, so it’s pretty effective.

Same on Android (Samsung s22), it’s making the PWA almost unusable…

Well this sounds like tons of fun…

One of the few twitter personas that’s worth following

Come join us at !nba@lemmy.ml

You can’t view subs of a nsfw instance from a non-nsfw instance https://lemmynsfw.com/post/543

You can create a new user on that instance, then you’ll see the sublemmys and posts

First of all, welcome! No need to ask for permission, simply go ahead and create the community :)

yeah, I think the whole federation means different instances have different views of the same things… Lemmy’s not big enough (yet!) to have multiple NFL communities (subreddits? sublemmys??) :)

I think this one’s the larger/more active? At least that’s what https://browse.feddit.de/ says

Good, that’s exactly what she is

#1 looks like a known issue https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/373 has a good discussion about it, feel free to chime in there as well
