I noticed something that I’m hoping someone could clarify.

When I visit lemmy.ca, and show “all” communities and then compare it to lemmy.world, the results come up totally different… different posts or same posts with wildly different number of comments.

It doesn’t seem to matter which sorting method I use, either.

Even replies to a comment within a post will have more on lemmy.world than if I were viewing it on lemmy.ca.

For example, !nostupidquestions on lemmy.world shows the post “Do you think the guys on the titanic submarine will be rescued?” with 589 upvotes and 474 comments. The same post shows 167 upvotes and 384 comments on lemmy.ca.

I checked the blocked instances between the two, and only junk instances are there, so I know it’s not that.

Any clarity would be appreciated.

    Could defederation have something to do with it?

    I believe beehaw defederated from sh.it.just.works and Lemmy.world so on lemmy.world you won’t see any posts or comments from people on beehaw I believe.
