I think that's more of a client issue than a server issue though.
usernotfound
Yeah, my instance doesn't have a lot of users, but it does have a lot of posts (few thousand per day). It might be all the updates it's sending out.
I guess I'll just have to give 0.18 a try then.
Depends on where it was posted. That has no place in !technology@lemmy.ml, for example. Context is key.
Edit: I see now that it was posted to !worldnews@lemmy.ml. Which is indeed more relevant (haven't read the article). Still, every lemmy instance has it's own moderators and moderator styles. If you don't agree with the moderators of this community, then by all means subscribe to a different one, to get your varied mix of news.
All in all I don't see this as a problem with the Lemmy instance, just possibly with that specific community. It definitely isn't a Lemmy Support issue though.
In a way this is the opposite of what you're asking, but this is kind of the reason I set up https://lemmit.online - To allow people to get quality content like !itookapicture@lemmit.online automatically onto Lemmy.
Anyone can request subs to be synced, and admittedly, not all of those requests make sense, since it doesn't sync comments. But the goal is to bootstrap content creation / combat people returning to reddit because they miss content there.
Shameless plug: have you seen !requests@lemmit.online @lemmit.online?

It's not entirely what you asked for, but I haven't seen anything that's like it either.
Mostly receiving posts and sending out to federated servers.
