Question about federation and comments (lemmy.lif.ovh)

submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Sarcasthik@lemmy.lif.ovh to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

8 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Hi there ! So I've been using my own Lemmy instance for the past 3 weeks or so and everything's good except maybe the time it takes to sync with federated instances. But there is one thing that is bothering me greatly.

I federated lemmy.world and a few others and can see and interact with posts from these instances but I noticed that I can't see the comments from other people like me with their own instances or just the ones I did not federate.

As I understand it, this is intended design but I like to have it all. Is there any way to get that without federating every single instances out there ? This seems like a massive headache as anyone can deploy a new instance any time and start commenting with it and I won't see it, ever.

EDIT : Right on ! I wasn't seeing any responses so I got to lemmy.ml to check and saw the answers. I did exactly what you kind people recommended and comments are starting to show up, thank you very much !

If you want it all, you have to federate every instance.

Sorry for that, I don't think there's any way around it
