No matter what I do I don't see any posts from .world. I checked and mander does not seem to block .world (kinda why I liked this instance) and even weirder is how my feed gets filled with mostly .ml posts with almost no activity no matter how I sort.

This did not happen before and got me thinking, I don't even know how this works across federated instances.

Does anyone know:

How does the sorting work on an instance? Is it all the same no matter what instance it is?
Did anything change in the last few months, that would cause all .world (and I assume others) posts to not show?
Other then changing instances what can I do to mitigate the weird slanted results?

Huge sync issues between Lemmy world and mander: https://grafana.lem.rocks/d/cdfzs0dwal3pca/federation-health-time-behind?orgId=1&var-instance=All&var-remote_instance=mander.xyz&var-remote_software=All&from=now-1h&to=now

I posted about it on !mander@mander.xyz a few days ago.

Another reason to not have all communities on LW

Thanks for the reply (I was worried no one would) but would that cause the weird behaviour I am seeing? The timing does not seem to match but it could make some sense.

If what you are saying is the cause then Lemmy as a federated whole may now be effectively split up due to sync issues?

Mander is not the only instance having this issue. Other instances like lemmy.nz (it was), reddthat also aussie.zone, monyet.cc have similar issue since months ago. I assume the culprit is cogent's de-peering drama not from lemmy itself.

And those lemmy instances are hosted in APAC.

Also you can check federation issue with this

And if I'm not mistaken our admin has solution regarding the issue a while ago, you may ask Dave.
