Something I found is that while you can see activity of local communities in your instance like for example a lemmy.world user on lemmy.world. If they go somewhere else like lemmy.world/c/privacyguides@lemmy.one that’s pretty much all you’ll be aware of aside from what someone from lemmy.world pull so it shows up on /c/all
You have to tab open and see lemmy.one to get the picture of the instance as a whole to see what is the activity local to it.
This makes it harder to find new communities and also for new communities to grow. And doesn’t help that when you view a community for the first time after someone subscribed for the first time it doesn’t pull all the comments, so it looks like there’s no activity.
So it would be nice if there was a quick toggle to do a view from your instance and then a view from the instance the content actually originated on.
Example

https://lemmy.world/post/303626?
Wanted to also mention fedia.io/m/firefox is the sister Kbin community to /r/firefox
https://matrix.to/#/#reddit-firefox:mozilla.org
✨NEW✨ Sister Kbin community: https://fedia.io/m/firefox ⭐ r/Firefox is protesting Reddit, and is DOWN, but you can join our sister Kbin community. ⭐ Official Matrix room for the r/firefox community on reddit. The latest news and developments on Firefox and Mozilla, a global non-profit that strives to promote openness, innovation and opportunity on the web.
I don’t follow the last sentence of your first paragraph or the first sentence of the next. I think you’re missing some detail and/or context there…
When I go to lemmy.world from lemmy.one I’m redirected through the route of
https://lemmy.one/c/syncforlemmy@lemmy.world
I’d like to be able to quickly toggle to viewing it as
https://lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy
in case there are synchronization issues where posts/comments on https://lemmy.one/c/syncforlemmy@lemmy.world are not showing up
And also be able to toggle from there to see https://lemmy.world so I can see the new communities that nobody might have searched yet on lemmy.one so it doesn’t show up when I go to all
So just toggling instances on the fly is simplest way to put it.
I’m new to Lemmy, and I don’t understand at all what you’re describing. Can you clarify?
There are synchonrization issues when you see content from another instance than your own.
Example is No Stupid Questions from lemmy.world
When you go to it from your instance you’ll see https://sh.itjust.works/post/437173
As of this post is shows 60 comments.
View it from the instance the community is actually on https://lemmy.world/post/590386
And as of this post is shows 127 comments.
Now I understand.
