This has nothing to do with federation, reddit was a single system and had the exact same issue. It’s simply a result of having communities that overlap in topics, or articles that are relevant for multiple communities.

The key is that each of these posts has a different discussion due to the different community it is in, isn’t that good?

I think I saw one of your earlier posts and I really appreciate you chasing this down and raising awareness. As a relatively savvy user this is definitely something I’ve noticed and I share your concern that it will slowly erode user’s trust in the concept of federation.

Technically, can you trace where the comments are dropped? does the target receive the response but fails to process it, or does it break somewhere at the network layer? if so, is there no receiver “ack” built into the protocol? sorry for asking a bunch of questions and feel free to ignore (I’m an engineer but I don’t know much about the federation protocol…)

I wonder if some instances are more prone to drop comments that others? have you looked for example at lemmy.world (very large but performant) and another relatively small instance?

Same on Android (Samsung s22), it’s making the PWA almost unusable…

You can’t view subs of a nsfw instance from a non-nsfw instance https://lemmynsfw.com/post/543

You can create a new user on that instance, then you’ll see the sublemmys and posts

If you’re on Android, Jerboa allows you to control font size and feed type (cards, list…) so you can make it pretty condensed. I use List and font 14, and view about a dozen posts/scroll

Yes, this isn’t your average “junior engineer introduces minor bug, exposes volnerability” type of problem, this is very clearly “we know very well this is terrible but we’re selling it using a bunch of buzzwords, so we couldn’t care less”…

Sadly there aren’t a lot of meaningful legal mechanisms to sue these types of scams

I jinxed it, it doesn’t work anymore :/

Absolutely, I’ve done more posting/commenting/upvoting in the last days than I’ve done on reddit in the last year.

Works for me, try again?

Edit: not working anymore

Yeah, that’s a No from me, dog

The generic one looks like a good starting point, thanks!

My guess - zero backtracking

Not defending that joke of an AMA or joke of a CEO, I think it’s reasonable that he’ll have a few prepared answers about expected topics (accessibility in this case) and copy/paste it into the chat. Now why he still manage to answer only a dozen question is, well, a good question…
