Has anyone noticed that some instances are not reporting correct comments/posts/subscriber numbers to our instance via the federation?
For example: https://sh.itjust.works/c/networking
Those numbers do not match up to what is seen browsing to that community via infosec.pub: https://infosec.pub/c/networking@sh.itjust.works
I made an account on that instance and ran a search for my networking community on infosec.pub and it doesn’t even show up.
I think the syncing/federation is just slow and/or degraded temporarily – especially on popular instances since they’re a bit overwhelmed with the user count coming from the Reddit exodus.
Yep, noticed that too. @jerry should file a bug report. Is this issue present on other instances or just infosec.pub?
There is PR dealing with scheduled tasks which might be related: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3090 , but someone needs to check server logs to figure it out.
I assumed that when you check it on your instance, it reflects the subscribed users from your instance.
Good point. No way to tell for sure unfortunately.
