Ten Chinese air force aircraft entered Taiwan's air defence zone on Wednesday accompanying five Chinese warships engaged in "combat readiness" patrols, the island's defence ministry said, the second such incursion this week.
Yes, I see now that you’ve recently federated with most instances. My instance is federated with hexbear.net, why don’t your communities show in the communities search? I search for chapotraphouse and it shows 0 subscribers. Are the servers still synchronizing?
Ok, that makes sense, a few hours ago I couldn’t even find the communities, now I can see the posts in the communities I know the name of, but no comments yet. Well, it’s getting there, I guess :)
The 0 subscribers you see is in terms of subscribers from your instance to that community. Not the actual subscribers the community has in the whole fediverse
Good remark, probably correct, but it’s not just that either, I go into the version of chapotraphouse from my instance and see no comments anywhere, but when I see the community from hexbear, the same post has 32 comments, still some syncing underway. That and I can still only find hexbear communities by their name and not with a “hexbear” search. I’ve tested this from two different instances that have not blocked hexbear.
I’ve noticed the same thing. A lot of comments on federated posts just do not show when viewed from another instance, but do show up when viewed from an account that is part of that instance the post was made from. It’s really annoying and I’m pretty sure it’s a common lemmy bug but most people just don’t realize it because most people never try viewing the same post with accounts on different instances because there shouldn’t be any need to.
It can be pretty drastic too. Like only 4 comments seen vs 40 comments actually being there. It makes me wonder what comments I’m not seeing on other instances and what comments of mine people on other instances aren’t seeing.
I guess then it would be great to open an issue describing the whole issue on the GitHub Lemmy repository. At the end of the day! It’s a FOSS software maintained by the people for the people.
Yeah, I might do that, but I think they’re already aware. I looked at some lemmy help communities back when I first noticed the issue during the reddit blackout, and there were a number of other people already talking about the problem. It was mostly people making their own instances because they were testing their newly-made instances with more established instances and realizing tons of comments were missing depending on which accounts they were logged into.

I think the search only works once the communities are cached on your instance or something.

We were having some outages for a bit over at hexbear maybe that’s the issue?
