Would love an ability to quickly toggle between viewing from your instance and the other instance that the topic is being hosted on when visiting (lemmy.one)

Something I found is that while you can see activity of local communities in your instance like for example a lemmy.world user on lemmy.world. If they go somewhere else like lemmy.world/c/privacyguides@lemmy.one that's pretty much all you'll be aware of aside from what someone from lemmy.world pull so it shows up on /c/all

You have to tab open and see lemmy.one to get the picture of the instance as a whole to see what is the activity local to it.

This makes it harder to find new communities and also for new communities to grow. And doesn't help that when you view a community for the first time after someone subscribed for the first time it doesn't pull all the comments, so it looks like there's no activity.

So it would be nice if there was a quick toggle to do a view from your instance and then a view from the instance the content actually originated on.

Example

Wanted to also mention fedia.io/m/firefox is the sister Kbin community to /r/firefox

https://matrix.to/#/#reddit-firefox:mozilla.org

✨NEW✨ Sister Kbin community: https://fedia.io/m/firefox ⭐ r/Firefox is protesting Reddit, and is DOWN, but you can join our sister Kbin community. ⭐ Official Matrix room for the r/firefox community on reddit.

I'm new to Lemmy, and I don't understand at all what you're describing. Can you clarify?

[–] NightOwl@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

There are synchonrization issues when you see content from another instance than your own.

Example is No Stupid Questions from lemmy.world

When you go to it from your instance you'll see https://sh.itjust.works/post/437173

As of this post is shows 60 comments.

View it from the instance the community is actually on https://lemmy.world/post/590386
