What is the reason for drastically different vote count and number of comments across different instances? Is the issue solved as of today? (self.fediverse)

Title. I have seen this issue in the past, but I just stumbled across a post where the difference is massive (as of today, 14 January 2024):

316 upvotes and 173 comments on lemmy.sh.itjust.works

https://sh.itjust.works/post/6400367

vs

-13 upvotes and 7 comments on lemmy.zip

https://lemmy.zip/post/3556131

for no apparent reason (i.e. lemmy.zip doesn't seem to be blocking the instances the missing comments are coming from and those instances aren't blocking lemmy.zip either). What's going on here?

Is the issue solved as of today?

P.S. Here's how the post appears on other instances

The first link is post from [email protected], the second link is post from [email protected], it's a same post crossposted to communities under different instance.

This. It's not the same post, it's two different posts in two different communities.
