Home of the sh.itjust.works instance.
I think you might be able to subscribe and unsubscribe? I'm not sure why it would federate over the post itself but not the comments.
If subscriptions are getting stuck pending, the community's home instance could be overloaded. Maybe the comments will federate over later.
Thank you. I'll stick with it until it's no longer pending and see if it fixes itself. You're probably right that it's just a taxed server.
Just checked your comment history. Let me guess, the one at !professors@lemmy.ml? Lemmy.ml is MASSIVELY overloaded right now. 10x our users, half our server power. Treat any community there as "Will work if I'm lucky and time it right".
Holy hell, lemmy.ml is that underpowered? Not that shit just works is underpowered, but...
Compare lemmy.ml's setup to ours.
EDIT: Lemmy.ml just crashed again. Was listed as 6 CPU, 32GB RAM
EDIT2: It's back up again, corrected my numbers. Worse than I thought.
Holy moly, lemmy.ml runs on not faster hardware than my old home server. Its replacement will be faster
No, I can post there. It's on !audiobooks@lemmy.fmhy.ml.
Trying it myself, having the same issue. It's not federation issues site-wide, popped into some popular posts and there are posts from sh.itjust.works users. It's not a block issue (although that allowed instance makes me very suspicious on their end), and it's not a site overloading issue (their site seems to be running fine).
EDIT: I KNEW IT! https://sh.itjust.works/post/70752
Should work fine now
Thanks! I'm subbed now. Of course, the comments that were added before I subbed aren't accessible from here, but at least I can join any that come along later.
Yep!
Yep what? How do you do it?
Aha sorry, yes you can comment to any thread so long as you can load the post on your end.
Can you walk me through how to do it? As it is, I can only see a thread on a community I'm not subscribed to by going to the instance it's hosted on. But I'm not logged in there.
While you wait for sh.itjust.works to sync all the comments, you can browse it on the other communities instance, find the comment you want to interact with, then right click the little rainbow icon next to the hyperlink icon, copy that link into sh.itjust.works' search bar and it will sync that comment immediately, letting you interact with it.
For example, if I found your comment on another instance and I wanted to reply, I would copy the link to it, go to my instance (lemmy.one) and paste the link which is: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/120320
Hacky solution ik but itll work until the user experience kinks are ironed out.
Oh, hey, that's cool! I knew the "network" icon was a direct link, but didn't know searching for it on my instance would sync it. Super cool.
I've found that the best way to load a post or community is actually to just copy the remote link and search for it. Communities usually take about 30 seconds to load but if you sit in the search results page for a bit it'll show up.
But you may want to make sure that your instance isn't blocked, by going to [instanceurl]/instances
Does that get you comments too? In another thread OP said they were trying to access !audiobooks@lemmy.fmhy.ml and when I go to that community via my instance, i see the posts but no comments. And its obviously been a bit since it started syncing. Our instances arent blocked
It's got me comments before.
It sounds like you're trying to get comments from posts to sync, rather that query individual comments.
You should be able to load this comment, for example: https://exploding-heads.com/comment/29311
But I don't know of a way to force all comments on a remote post to load.
I'm doing it right now :)
Can you explain how you do it? When I go to the thread on another instance, it says I'm not logged in and can't comment.
