I asked another commenter here the same question that I’m going to ask you.
I was running a my own single user instance, but I had a hard time getting comments to come in to mine. Have you found a good way to get Lemmy to more reliably pull in comments from remote instances?
I would have to browse out to the original instance to see most of the comments, then back to my own if I wanted to comment (if it was under a comment that my instance hadn’t pulled in, then too bad), then back out to the main site to continue reading. I found that process very tedious so I switch back to a more populated server which seems to pull in most if not all of the comments.
I have not noticed any issues like you describe. Everything seems to dtrt. To be fair, it could be happening and I don’t know it, but I’m not going to go out of my way to look for comments that clearly don’t like me, either.

It was very obvious for me. A post would only have one comment, but then dozens when I clicked to the original instance.
Maybe I’ll try to spin up a brand new one and see if it’s any better.
Ah, tbh I wouldn’t have ever checked other instances for something like that. But I’m lazy, ha
