Ref post.

I noticed a huge difference between the post and what I see, which got me curious.

What is the reason?

      His screenshot is showing the user as seen from ml, unless I’m missing something.

        I guess that mean that my instance is at fault.

          Your instance was created this year, if that’s what you mean. My instance is a year older:

          Also, defederation would impact this as well. For all I know the missing posts are on lemmy.grad (for example).

          Edit: actually it’s definitely the age of your instance.

          I got curious and decided to view my profile from feddit.org and it shows less than half of my total posts/comments

          I like this actually, I look a little more well-adjusted lol. It also shows just how much effort I was putting into commenting on things early on to break the seal

          If you want to call it a fault. One instance can’t cover all, just the slice its users interact with.

          it’s like @Xyre@lemmus.org described. old content does not get federated unless there is new activity on it and someone on your instance is subscribed to the community it happens in.

          this isn’t anyone’s fault, it’s just a matter of the instance not being around that long that some historic content will be missing.
