Hello everyone,
I’m new to the Fediverse and loving it so far! I’m trying out all the client apps on my iPhone and I ran into an issue where the latest posts for some communities will not show up on the client apps, but they do show up on the PieFed web app. Screenshots below will show what I mean. The filters in both screenshots are set to show newest posts.
Screenshot from Mlem. Same result on Voyager, Interstellar, and Blorp as well. “Newest” post here is from 3 days ago.
Screenshot from PieFed web app. Showing new posts correctly.
This seems to happen only with some Lemmy communities and most work fine on the client apps. So is the PieFed web app just superior in some way that it can more reliably fetch new posts while the client apps miss some stuff? Hoping someone with some technical knowledge can chime in.
Looking at the commits, it looks like some things were being cached that shouldn't be, leading to stale responses from the api.
