Hello !

As federated, I’m subscribed to communities from other instances than lemmy.ml, for example !xmpp@slrpnk.net, !monero@monero.town, !programming@programming.dev, !technology@lemmygrad.ml, and several other ones…

The common thing is that the federated communities are often pretty out of sync with regards to the original ones on their corresponding instances, and that in the best cases, some times I don’t think they’ve even been syncing for quite a while.

I’m wondering if it’s a limitation given lemmy.ml can’t keep up, given its amount of users and federation, or if it’s something that can be looked at…

Thanks !

    Im seeing the same posts in both cases, so its probably related to your account settings. For example user blocks, language settings etc.

      Hmm, ok, it should pretty vanila, meaning I have barely touched it… Here are some fields:

      • Interface language: browser default
      • Language: undetermined
      • Theme: darkly (I chose it so long ago)
      • Type: subscribed
      • Show NSFW: true
      • Blur NSFW content: true
      • Auto expand media: false
      • Show scores: false (just turned it on, though I have no idea what that is)
      • Show upvotes: true
      • Show downvotes: true
      • Show upvote %: false (just urned it to true)
      • Show avatars: true
      • Bot account: false
      • Show bot accounts: true
      • Send notifications to email: false
      • Open links in a new tab: false

      I imagined if I had specified a language that would limit thinks, as warned by the setting itself, but I haven’t. BTW, we’re missing having the option to add as many languages as one might understand, that would make the field more useful. Limiting to just one language might make people never use it at all, :) But I can’t think of any of these settings preventing me seeing up to date federated communities…

      Thanks again for answering !

        You can enable multiple languages with ctrl + click. And user blocks might be another reason for missing posts.

          Ohh, good to know about multi language. I guess that would restrict what I read to only the languages I select (be more restrictive), whereas “undetermined” should allow me to see everything, or so I understood. BTW, I’m not blocking anything, since I haven’t found the need to do so, with that, I’d guess the more one blocks, the more restrictive one becomes, but that’s not my case. That’s why a was a bit surprised that my settings could be the cause for me to see less up to date stuff, :( In my mind, my settings are the least restrictive possible.

            To see everything you need to select all languages (click at top of the list, then shift + click at the bottom). I believe if you select only undetermined you wont see posts with a language specified, but not totally sure.
