For those that have poked around other fediverse stuff beyond Lemmy, and been around the spaces awhile, what’s stuck out to you as stumbling blocks, or basic user experience fumbles? Which parts do you think may be technical, and which may be cultural?

    Only the original instance where it got posted will have a complete reply set–and only if there are no suspensions involved.

    that should not be true. if all the instances involved in a comment section are fully federated with each other, the comments are the same on all of those instances.

    things get complicated when there is defederation involved… but the base case is “everyone can see the same set of comments no matter the instance.”

    is this correct or there is more?

      More of that, only comments from instances defederated by your instance won’t be shown.

      As far as I can tell, this is incorrect. If there’s a post on instance A, a reply from instance B, and someone on instance C follows the OP on A but not the RP on B, they will only see the OP without the reply.

      Source: I very often notice this because I run a single-user instance, and when I open a thread it’s incomplete, lacking posts from instances that I have not suspended.
