I created a post on lemmy.world. I am subscribed to that same community here as well. I don’t see my post here yet. How long should it typically take for an article from a different instance to show up here?

    Somewhat related, I’m also curious as to what the benefit is to making accounts on multiple hubs, if there is one at all…

      Each site has a slightly different subscription therefore slightly different content.

      Also some sites might go down from time to time so having a backup site to use is handy.

        How does signing into one instance inherently alter the content? Are not most instances federated?

          It changes the content you can easily browse on Local. You are right it shouldn’t change Subscribed or All.

          Federated only the communities that a local user has subscribed to. Smaller communities or duplicates might not be synced.

            The defualt “All” includes all federated communities. I’d expect a separate “Subscribed” option to handle that.

              You just repeated what I said. All federated.

              Federation is not automatic for communities. A person must subscribe to the community for a lemmy server to start pulling that community data for everyone.

              Again. New, or smaller communities might not have been pulled into your preferred instance.
