I just made a similar post of my own on this community. I’m seeing the exact same thing. It’s like instances are not speaking with one another properly right now.

I posted this same post on r/redditalternatives and got a similar response, that lemmy.ml is going through it right now and causing sync issues.
Just makes me paranoid that whichever instance I browse Lemmy from, I’ll be missing some content.
I think it’s either a bug or related to server load. I made a post on this community noting the same thing. It’s like instances are not communicating with each other right now.
I looked at the same post from 4 different instances and got four different results in both comment count and votes.
