Why do user profiles have different content/history depending on which instance you view them from? And possible bug with searching

I may not be understanding correctly, but that seems like a huge downside to the current implementation of federation, and especially hurts new and small instances?

Using the user's profile example in the OP, one of them doesn't have comments from !lemmy.world/c/politics, so that means that no one on futurology.today has subscribed to /c/politics, and no results will show until someone does?

I see that https://futurology.today/c/[email protected] loads but the posts are all days old and there's no "top day".

Think they would be able to make some sort of artificial FMT

We're a long way (many decades) off from that. This blog goes into more detail with references: https://www.humanmicrobes.org/blog/stool-donors-one-in-a-million-ai-funding-potential

One of which is this page that shows the severe limits of current knowledge: https://humanmicrobiome.info/testing/

Crispr-Enhanced Viruses Are Being Deployed Against UTIs

Yes, phages are the natural "antibiotic"/population control for bacteria. https://humanmicrobiome.info/#bacteriophages-phages

Antibiotics can make phages go extinct. https://humanmicrobiome.info/antibiotics/#virome

Phages were being researched as an alternative to antibiotics, but antibiotics seemed easier and cheaper, so they grew in popularity and use. Unfortunately, antibiotics come with pretty severe collateral damage.

Is is possible to see who upvoted/downvoted a specific comment?

Yes, it's possible via kbin.social.

kbin lets you see who voted for what https://lemmy.world/post/3027601

Open any post on KBin. Click the url (x comments) so that the title shows in the URL, and add /votes/down. Eg:

The link is also at the bottom of every thread.

For comments, click on "more -> activity".

The URLs are different so you can't just edit the URL, you have to find the post on kbin.social: https://lemmy.world/post/8552850 vs https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/643937

If a kbin.social user comments on the thread you can find it that way (their fediverse link).
