I don't, really going off on ~1 week of running my essentially single user instance and watching it do its thing. I need to read the spec and experiment with it when I have some more free time.
Pure speculation but my guess would be that the servers are expected to retry for a certain amount of time. I know there's been some tickets opened for some big instances going out of sync with eachother and fixes being worked on to address those. I don't know if it only fixes it forward or if that also backfills.
Also nothing preventing Lemmy from implementing a fallback way of doing a resync if it detects drift. "Hey lemm.ee, I lost everything since an hour ago, backfill please".
Yeah, or batching changes and confirming receipt with a hash, or doing pull instead of push. From what I've been reading, the design seems a little janky.
