I found an active thread in a sub on another instance I’d like to participate in. When I sub to the thread from sh.itjust.works there are no comments; I assume that’s because sh.itjust.works only starts syncing communities after the first subscription. So now I can either read the thread on an instance I don’t have a login for, or participate in an empty version of the thread on sh.itjust.works.
Is there any way to participate in the active thread at this point? Thanks.
edit: Just checked my subscription to the new community is [pending]. Maybe that’s it?
edit2: Thanks to @Barbarian I can at least sub to one of the pending communities, and the others are on lemmy.ml, so I’ll just wait those out.
It’s got me comments before.
It sounds like you’re trying to get comments from posts to sync, rather that query individual comments.
You should be able to load this comment, for example: https://exploding-heads.com/comment/29311
But I don’t know of a way to force all comments on a remote post to load.
