Why is the content on Lemmy.ca vastly different from that of lemmy.world? (self.main)

I noticed something that I'm hoping someone could clarify.

When I visit lemmy.ca, and show "all" communities and then compare it to lemmy.world, the results come up totally different... different posts or same posts with wildly different number of comments.

It doesn't seem to matter which sorting method I use, either.

Even replies to a comment within a post will have more on lemmy.world than if I were viewing it on lemmy.ca.

For example, !nostupidquestions on lemmy.world shows the post "Do you think the guys on the titanic submarine will be rescued?" with 589 upvotes and 474 comments. The same post shows 167 upvotes and 384 comments on lemmy.ca.

I checked the blocked instances between the two, and only junk instances are there, so I know it's not that.

Any clarity would be appreciated.

I've also had this issue. Sometimes it seems like comments are missing or upvotes are behind. I decided to make an account on .world as well and have mirrored all my communities. I will bounce back and forth for now as it gets worked out. Sounds like it's a bug from the comments here.

Not too worried about it though. Chalk it up to growing pains.
