Take a look at this same post, from four different instances:

From the server it was originally posted on (currently at 9 comments): https://lemmy.ml/post/1244889

lemmy.world (8 comments): https://lemmy.world/post/112477

This just doesn’t make sense to me. I thought the entire point of all of this was that you get the same content regardless of which instance you’re on. But clearly, I’m seeing wildly different results. Why?

    I could be wrong, but I think this has to do with server load, all of these instances are trying to synchronize between each other and some of them are keeping up better than others.
