Newbie question: Are comments federated automatically? [solved] (self.rnf)

2 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Hi everyone!

Just created my first Lemmy-account today, and I'm a bit confused regarding federation. I understood that in order to subscribe to communities of other servers, I have to search them first, so that they "appear" on this server. But if I do, most (but not all) of the comments in those communities seem to be missing. Will those be automatically synced after some time? Or is there some secret "sync all comments for this post" button?

Give them time. Lemmy uses a system of eventual consistency where if something doesn't happen right away it tries again later.

Thanks @[email protected] !. I found something in the docs for admins (gave it a try, it works), but that didn't sound very comfortable, glad to learn that I just have to be patient :)
