On the instance I’m using, my comments and posts have disappeared. It is ok?

I had a few helpful comments here that I saved, but it’s all gone.

Having got used to the stability in Mastodon I was surprised by such things in Lemmy as:

Unable to log into your account through the app after an update on the server.

Unable to log into your account through the app if your instance version is out of date.

Just because you’ve created a post or written a comment doesn’t mean other Lemmy users will see it.

I have to constantly check to see if my messages are visible on other instances.

You also need to have many sub-accounts on different instances in case some of the primary instances are unavailable.

    Seems super stable to me, might be the client smoothing it out.

      Could also be issues with their particular instance - particularly the “instance out of date” one.

      Yea I haven’t noticed much

      Boost for Lemmy & web app

      The 0.19 update was special since it modified the auth stuff. But a quick log out and in was all I needed.

      The comments not appearing on other instances is a fair point, but I imagine something similar happens on Mastodon as well
