When first interacting with a community - i.e. subscribing the Lemmy Support - from my own instance, some amount of posts sync across but their comments don’t show up. Is that expected behaviour for now?
EDIT: maybe the same issue as https://lemmy.ml/post/1148327?scrollToComments=true
Thanks for digging that up. Had been one of my outstanding questions. I agree with the initial requestor of that issue; it will be a major source of friction for users migrating to Lemmy from Reddit.
I’d like to be able to at least manually trigger the retrieval of a set of posts/comments as a user. Otherwise as the requestor noted, its going to make interacting with “new” communities difficult and unintuitive if you can’t see comments from before when it was synced to your local instance.
Yeah, I agree. There’s also something that does cause them to come though - maybe them getting upvoted, or edited? - because I set up my instance just this afternoon and I have some comments that were from more than a day ago.
Votes and edits makes sense, sounds like a good guess to me!
