I use non-algorithmic RSS feeds nowadays. Used to use Feedly, I’ve since switched to Read You on Android.

Inevitable, the fee instances and the non-free instances tend to sort themselves out and clump together

Interesting. So this means everything should sync with any new posts to the community then?

It’s got me comments before.

It sounds like you’re trying to get comments from posts to sync, rather that query individual comments.

You should be able to load this comment, for example: https://exploding-heads.com/comment/29311

But I don’t know of a way to force all comments on a remote post to load.

I’ve found that the best way to load a post or community is actually to just copy the remote link and search for it. Communities usually take about 30 seconds to load but if you sit in the search results page for a bit it’ll show up.

But you may want to make sure that your instance isn’t blocked, by going to [instanceurl]/instances

Aha sorry, yes you can comment to any thread so long as you can load the post on your end.

Yep!

Lemmings sounds perfect to me!
