Is anybody else running into this problem?
My federated posts are appearing in my timeline quite well, however I've noticed that significant portions of the comment section are not being carried over.
For example, I'll see a post on my instance with 13 comments. I'll click on the fediverse icon to take me to the original source and that has 43 comments. Where did those 30 comments go?
The worst part is, I can't seem to figure out a way to "force sync" or refresh the page to make sure all the comments are carried over. Because of this, I feel like I'm only getting part of the conversation and I'm unable to reply to comments that don't appear on my instance.
Does anybody have any solutions to this problem? It's literally my one huge issue I have with my own instance.
I tried my best to use mastodon as a platform to post to lemmy/kbin but ran into a major problem: nested comments get lost to the ether, and there’s no way for you to reply to them using the same account.
Because of this, and basically this alone, I decided to forfeit mastodon all together and opt for a self hosted lemmy instance. I just got it set up and running this evening and so far, I’m not looking back.
Might set up another mastodon instance later, but that’s if I start to miss it.
Been pounding my head against the desk for the last TWO DAYS trying to get everything to work. Then you came along and solved all of my problems and it only took me 10 minutes to set up (mostly due to waiting on DNS to flush!)
THANK YOU SO MUCH for creating this, and PLEASE continue to maintain! I will gib coffees if need be along the way!!
