I noticed that when I view this post for example on lemmy.world: https://lemmy.world/post/291005 and on dataterm.digital: https://dataterm.digital/post/54221 that both of them are the same post but with a different number of votes and comments.
I believe this also leads to different sorting of the all feed in these instances. Why is that and can it be fixed? Is it even a bug?
I even saw while having both posts open that on lemmy.world a new comment got added in realtime but not on dataterm.digital
probably a consequence of federation, but I’m not sure how it works with Lemmy
the same thing happens on Mastodon because you only see interaction from users that are followed on your instance; if nobody follows someone, they don’t exist. unless they are on the same instance. if a single person follows them, they exist for all of the users on that same instance
