I noticed something today and wanted to get a gut check from people more knowledgeable than me before I file a bug, etc.
https://beehaw.org/post/579167 (A) is the same thread as https://programming.dev/post/50696 (B), but for me (account on beehaw.org) there are comments upstream that aren’t in my local view. For example, searching B for ‘ideas’ brings up the nice comment https://programming.dev/comment/182817 by @[email protected], but nothing at A. What’s more, if I try to copy the URL, https://beehaw.org/comment/182817 seems to lead to an unrelated comment.
Does this seem like expected behavior, or related to recent scaling issues, or an unrelated bug?
It’s a bug. Not sure if it’ll get fixed anytime soon, though… the guy who runs my instance explained it to me here: https://lemm.ee/comment/171585
Syncing of comments seems to be… sketchy. So many things can cause it to not function, or not appear in a consistent manner. Definitely something that will need improving over time for regular users to be able to understand.
