Thank you so much for looking into this! You must be swamped with all of us newbies here on lemmy.ca.

If it’s a general Lemmy federation issue. Do you have any guess, if the issue can be resolved at some point? (I’m aware, it might not necessarily be at the top of anybody’s priority list with all the influx happening right now.)

I doubt that it’s defederated because of the bot count. I ran into the issue (Lemmy.ca <-> Lemmy.world) already well before the bot invasion

The list says non-comprehensive, but with an instance as large as lemmy.world, you’d expect it to be listed, if it would be defederated. Plus Lemmy.world is still listed on linked instances.

There must be a different reason for the poor synchronization between the two instances

Edit: See comment further down. Smorks is aware of the issue and will look into it.

My heart goes out to you, your parents and all other residential school survivors. No child, no parent, no people should have had to endure such trauma.

I hope, one day families who still suffer from this generational trauma can break through the horror of their and their ancestor’s experience and are able to stop their suffering and thrive instead.

Thank you for your explanation. This makes it much clearer for me :)

On a separate note, because, I just notice this in my comment:

Are there plans by you and lemmy.world to increase synchronization?

I’ve noticed just typing lemmy.ca and lemmy.ml turn into an automatic link, while typing lemmy.world doesn’t.

I’ve also noticed, the sync between these two instances (lemmy.ca and lemmy.world) is lagging or problematic when looking for communities on the other instance or trying to post from within one one instance to the other. Sometimes my lemmy.ca account doesn’t let me post or comment to lemmy.world and vice versa and I have to switch accounts.

Hi smorks, Thank you for lemmy.ca

I’m still a bit confused by your above comment.

To clarify:

So, if I’m logged into my lemmy.ca account and would create a post with a picture on a different instance, e.g. lemmy.ml or Lemmy.world , it would be against the rules of lemmy.ca?

And vice versa, if someone with an account on an instance that is known for banning criticism of certain governments, if they were to post such a post on lemmy.ca or lemmy.world , would still break the rules of their home instance and risk being banned there for something they’ve posted on a different instance that doesn’t have that rule?

Does that mean, I would need a second account on a different instance that doesn’t have this/these particular rules when posting such content?

Thank you 🙂

The major apps have announced to shut down on June 30th.

It’s expected that there’ll be a major influx of former app users - if they haven’t left reddit already

Thank you for this explanation! I’ve been searching for an answer on how to subscribe to communities that are not on your home instance.

Hi There,

Yet another reddit refugee from Canada’s West Coast. I’ve been in reddit for 15 years, mostly as a lurker with intermittent contributions (mostly comments in discussion threads). I used to use old.reddit, so would not have been affected (yet) by the announced API changes directly, but I am disappointed in the most recent behaviour of the admins over there and their disregard for the communities at large and the countless contributions of volunteer moderators, developers and content contributors that helped reddit to grow to what it is today.

I’m looking forward to explore Lemmy and Tildes and enjoy the reddit feel of the earlier days.
