Basically just the title. I realized that several sublemmys on other servers were out of date when I viewed them here. Is there a way to manually trigger a refresh, or is that a periodic thing?

Honestly it’s a bit frustrating, I had assumed the website was just directly loading from the host server as opposed to loading a cached version.

  • A cool privacy thing I’ve read about lemmy is that the other server never sees your IP address and all content is served to you by your insurance.

    As for caching, do you have an example?
    (Stuff on beehaw is a bit broken because they have defederated us for now.)

      Thanks for the response. To be honest, that seems a bit misguided. Seems like it adds a fair bit of complexity and performance issues in exchange for a relatively marginal benefit(hiding an IP that’s probably dynamic from a server the user chose to visit anyways).

      For an example !dnd@lemmy.world has a different set of stickied posts when visiting through lemmy.world versus this instance. It’s clearly a day or so out of date.
