I am trying Lemmy for the first time, and have subscribed to a community on another instance as a test (https://sopuli.xyz/c/homebrewing).

I can see the posts come though, but few if any of the comments are there. Obviously if I visit the community directly they show up, but then I can’t post/comment as my account is with this instance.

    Yeah I get that. I still think a full sync upon subbing would be better.

    If I sub to a new community specifically to reply to a comment but then that comment doesn’t appear, I’m a bit SOL right?

      Only if no one on your instance has ever subbed to that community before.

        Ah, so at the start it will happen a lot, but if this instance grows in size it will be less of a problem?

          Yeah, and it also depends on how big and how new the community is you’re subscribing to.

          It may also be something the devs change eventually.
