It's seems right that we should have a local community to help us all with PieFed

Hello there,

I've installed piefed with docker compose and everything seems to be going great, but only for 1 thing : the comments don't get fetch before the time I add the community.

Here I just joined !piefed_help@piefed.social and I can see every topic, but they are all with 0 comment and the same score.

I thought it was a question of time before federation does the work, but it's been a week now and it's the same.
Everything made AFTER joining is ok, though, and I can see comments.

I didn't found a note or a ticket for that, but do someone has this issue ?

The fact it's ideal or not is not really important, what is important is that Lemmy chose to not get behind AP to do this, and that the behaviour we're facing is intended (maybe that should be written somewhere so it could be crystal clear when installing ?).

So that's not a bug, that's a potential technical debt you chose to not have the burden of because you'll have to adapt this every time Lemmy would update their APIs.

The only thing I could think of is the fact that content is "lost" for piefed users, as the comment history is not available on their side.

But thank you very much for explaining the reasons
