    The top three instances a currently overcrowded. I recommend checking out a smaller instance (for example https://laguna.chat).

    Smaller instances are still able to access to same content. But it is just a different server that processes the content.

      But are they ? I posted a comment a couple of days ago via lemmy.world on a ‘remotely hosted’ community, and then viewed the same post via its ‘native’ instance, and my comment never showed up, even days later.

        Lemmy.world is having some performance issues, so perhaps the comment just didn’t get pushed out

        There are some issues regarding sync. If an instance is not reachable when an action is synced (e.g. due to overloaded servers), the sync is never attempted again and the instances will stay out of sync.
