Lately I’ve been nostalgic, I guess, about how tech was in the 90s. It was less glamorous, less usable, but also way more human and civil. Everyone was just into technology and sharing cool stuff.
This little corner of the web kind of feels like that sometimes.
I haven’t dived into the codebase at all for Lemmy (and I don’t really know Rust anyway) but my best guess is that, because lemmy.ml had a lot of downtime in the past 48 hours, it had trouble fetching comments. I checked it twice yesterday and got 503 or similar errors. I would assume (but haven’t personally verified) that periodically (or based on activity) they’ll resync comments and it’ll show up again.
Again, I’m not a Lemmy developer and couldn’t say directly. I just wouldn’t be surprised of all the lemmy.ml downtime this week affected its synchronizations with other instances.
