I’m still learning the quirks of federation and the behaviors of communities hosted on different instances, so I apologize if this is something that’s been asked repeatedly.
I made a post to a community I am subscribed to at lemmy.ca, from my home instance at slrpnk.net. Public posts on that community (as well as the post that I made) are not showing up from my home instance. My profile page on my home instance does not show any record of the post that I made.
I was only able to find existence of the post that I made by going to lemmy.ca, and then finding the community that I posted to from there.
So an hour later, while logged out (in incognito mode) I am seeing your post on https://slrpnk.net/c/[email protected] and can find it on your home instance directly at https://slrpnk.net/post/14701745 - this is in addition to seeing it on https://lemmy.ca/c/woodworking and directly on the magazine’s instance at https://lemmy.ca/post/31909201
Also, the post likewise shows up for me when I view your profile on either your home instance at https://slrpnk.net/u/technomad or on the magazine’s instance at https://lemmy.ca/u/[email protected] (and again, that’s logged out and in incognito mode).
Finally, I see your post on lemmy.world in the same three places - the magazine https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] , your profile https://lemmy.world/u/[email protected] , and the direct post itself https://lemmy.world/post/21403325
Sometimes posts from lemmy.world take up to three days to federate to my instance, so an hour isn’t too bad really.
