Be aware that Lemmy federation, comments and postings going from instance to instance, is having serious reliability problems.

There also seems to be no known tool to measure or fix these problems. I suspect many site operators are unaware of the extent of the problem and don’t realize that comments and postings are not copying from server to server.

Part of the growing pains of a complex app.

Another symptom of the problem is ‘pending’ when you join a remote community and it never changes to ‘joined’. This is a sign that your home Lemmy instance isn’t communicating properly with the other Lemmy isnstance.
