Here's the main question from that thread:

if I publish a folder (with an IPNS address) from my node1, I pin that folder to the node2 (I suppose you can pin IPNS address?), then I make change to it on the node1 and publish the change, does the node2 will update the content automatically (since it use the IPNS address)?

It's a pretty solid question, and I'm not actually sure of the answer.
