Release Notes

So if I look at a community’s page on the instance proper, like: lemmy.ml/c/artificial_intel . There are posts there that are not reflected when I look at it from lemmy.ca: lemmy.ca/c/[email protected] a post that I’ve posted from Lemmy.ca!...

We have beehaw.org listed as a linked instance. Similarly, they have lemmy.ca listed, yet when i try to access one of their communities like lemmy.ca/c/[email protected] i get an error message
