Not sure of the right words for what I mean. I’m still new to the Fediverse and even newer to PieFed.

I’m now 99% of the time in PieFed (my instance: piefed.social ) as opposed to Lemmy. Often I’ll visit a community and see zero or almost zero posts. But if I open the same community in Lemmy (my instance: lemmy.ca) there are loads of posts.

An example I just noticed: !stargate@lemmy.world

  • Piefed.social: 2 posts.
  • Lemmy.ca: 141 posts.

  1. Is there a way to get those missing posts into Piefed?

  2. All of them at once (not just one at a time)?

  3. Can an ordinary user like me do it?

Thanks.

    Just one of the limitations of the fediverse as it exists today. FWIW, lemmy works the exact same way. In its case, you pop in the url of a post you want to fetch in its search bar and it will find it and bring it over. When I have seen people confused about lemmy/mbin/piefed in the past, federation weirdness like this is one of the primary pain points.

      It won’t bring the comments though.

      FYI, you can use the same feature to bring the comments one by one. Painful, but possible
