I created a post on lemmy.world. I am subscribed to that same community here as well. I don’t see my post here yet. How long should it typically take for an article from a different instance to show up here?

    Each site has a slightly different subscription therefore slightly different content.

    Also some sites might go down from time to time so having a backup site to use is handy.

        Federated only the communities that a local user has subscribed to. Smaller communities or duplicates might not be synced.

          The defualt “All” includes all federated communities. I’d expect a separate “Subscribed” option to handle that.

            You just repeated what I said. All federated.

            Federation is not automatic for communities. A person must subscribe to the community for a lemmy server to start pulling that community data for everyone.

            Again. New, or smaller communities might not have been pulled into your preferred instance.
