Hello ninjas! I’m fairly new to this instance and I’ve really been enjoying it so far. I came from .world so I’m stoked to not be dealing with all that downtime. My question is regarding vote counts and how they federate. I’ve noticed that on pretty much all of my posts from the last week I have a higher vote count when viewed from my .ninja account than when I look at them from .world. I figured this maybe had something to do with .world being down (which was where the posts were posted) But today I’ve noticed the opposite. I’m seeing over 50 when viewed from .world but only a handful from my .ninja account. I guess my question is how does that work? Does it periodically update, and it just hasn’t caught up yet?
I really wish I knew this answer. The documentation for Lemmy doesn’t make it clear. But what we’ve observed is that as long as a user or instance isn’t blocked or banned, comments and likes eventually sync up between instances. It doesn’t really seem to be very fast.
