Federation transmits new content only. That delta is because the OG community ([email protected]) existed longer than it’s “copy” at programming.dev. The subscribers refers to local subscribers only, which on lemmy.ml will be ALL subscribers.
I have another issue that I thought was defederation, am I missing something about how the fediverse works too?
On my lemmy.world acoount I made a post https://programming.dev/post/366871. Looking at it on my lemmy.world account, it has 15 points and 10 comments. Looking at it from programming.dev, it has 12 points and only 3 comments. I was thinking this meant there was some defederation I didn’t know about, which is why I came to check the meta community out. I take it that isn’t the case though?
I also want to learn how does federation work if e.g. lemmy.world is federated with some instance but programming.dev is not explicitly federated, nor defederated with that instance. Will I see posts from that instance? Is there an (automatic?) list of all the instances in federation?
Maybe I should create another post on meta, or is it answered already somewhere in the posts/doc/faq?
