Yes, seeing this quite a lot. Random example from "all" sorted by "new" attached (5 hours old; is federation broken?)
Usually when I've seen this one of the posts has upvotes and the other doesn't, not sure if that is relevant.
That's the correct one, just hit subscribe. The comments won't match as it only counts the ones after somebody first subscribed from your instance (I think). Either way, due to federation the numbers quite often are different, it's best to use them as a guide only. The numbers on the home instance's community should be the correct ones.
The tags field will add hashtags, but they only show up from Mastodon. I assume they are still searchable.
The last bit is not strictly true - if you delete a post/comment it will federate the deletion so it will (should) delete everywhere. Any hosts which are off-line or later defederated might still keep a copy of it though, or a user client may have it cached. "Be careful with what you write" is always good advice regardless!
In theory, anybody you follow you should see their new threads in Threads on the Subscribed view, and their new microblog posts in the Subscribed/Microblogs view. I am not convinced it actually works for Threads - and it may not work for microblogs either.
Certainly following Mastodon users shows their posts under Subs/Microblogs.
Following Lemmy users should show their posts in the Threads view (as above, not sure if this works).
Boosts should show up as a new post "boosted by" in either Threads or Microblogs depending on what it originally was - but this appears to be unimplemented.
@jerry Looks like this magazine is at least one of the culprits, if it helps you see what is going on (corrupt database entry etc):https://fedia.io/m/uk_politics@feddit.uk
I can confirm this. I was getting a 500 on subs when sorted by newest, and on favourites, and when I toggle show magazine icons to off it fixes it!
Actually it's "Add new thread", this must have changed very recently.
New article is the correct way to post a general new thread.
Saturn looks amazing with the rings, definitely my fave.
Yes, it didn't appear to recognise the second + though.
Wait, my example wasn't actually a duplicate, didn't read it properly! Let's try again.
