   Wenn sich irgendwelche Tech-Bros wieder daneben benehmen, hoffen viele auf neue Benutzer von Instagram, Facebook, X etc., die ins Fediverse kommen und sich von der Kralle der Tech-Bros befreien. Das ist grundsätzlich gut, aber es gibt Probleme.

   Eines der Probleme betrifft die Synchronisation. Erstellt man auf Pixelfed einen neuen Account, bekommt man die Posts auf einer anderen Instanz nicht sofort zu sehen - selbst nach einem Follow nicht. Auch nach 30 Minuten sind sie nicht da. Selbst nach 60 Minuten ist noch nichts davon zu sehen.

   Das ist inakzeptable für alle, die wechselwillig sind, aber dann nicht verstehen, warum das so ist.

   Da muss unbedingt etwas gemacht werden.

     @norberteder did they make any posts in the 60 minutes after you followed? If not, then you won't see any posts.

     Posts aren't backfilled.

     @piratenpanda @norberteder I still feel like this would just ddos servers from too much info at once.

     I hope to be wrong and it will work wonderfully, if it ever becomes a thing.

     Though, I have yet to be proven wrong.

     Having EVERYTHING get sent to every server would make it so that only the richest people can afford an instance.

     @BeAware @norberteder this is a solvable problem. A backfiller should be available on every instance imho. It will make adopting and the overall usability of the fediverse so much better. In my opinion this should be the most important stuff to be added.

     @piratenpanda @norberteder you can always copy and paste the link of their post into your instances search bar.

     You just have to go to their page on their instance to get the posts.🤷♂️

     I'm sure things will get better over time. However I don't foresee a future where EVERYTHING on Fedi is available on every instance. Maybe they can make some sort of UI feature that makes it easier to pull stuff to your instance manually instead.

     @BeAware @norberteder thanks for the perspective on this. I didn't think about this.

     For pixelfed accounts it's really annoying to follow people with really great pictures and not being able to like or comment because you don't see them. I fail to see how we can explain this to non tech savvy folks.
