I introduced kbin to someone today who asked what the fediverse was. I answered for them of course, but it made me realize that the concept is still technobabble for most people. The average joe probably doesn’t care or notice that server A is really talking to server B. Just have them find out on their own and if a mass migration does need to happen from A to B, just make a standard announcement.
Is that content being updated, though? Or was that community simply imported before syncing was off, and is now stale?
This is why some knowledge about how things work is important. Accessing https://kbin.social/m/asklemmy@lemmy.ml does not access the remote community. It accesses a local mirror of the remote community, which is updated when the remote group forwards content along.
If k-soc isn’t accepting those content updates, it’s not actually engaging with remote users and new content, and it’s not se ding along local content addressed to the remote group.
It’s interacting with a ghost.
did you read my comment till the end?
I think the question is when cloudflare is no longer needed, will interaction with the content be “live” vs only when instances send/receive data. It’s a reasonable question, no need to be impatient. A lot of people are learning right now.
