Is outbound federation with 0.18.x instances working? Edit: federation in general is broken (beehaw.org)

I've made some comments and posts on a community on another instance, and I just realized they're not showing up on the other instance at all. Eg. I made this comment on [email protected], but it's not visible on the original instance. The same has happened with all comments and posts I've made on sopuli.xyz for the past few days, which leads me to believe it's due to sopuli upgrading to 0.18

edit: looks like ~~some of my comments on 0.18 communities have gone through~~, but none of my posts have. Eg. this post is not visible on [email protected]

edit 2: return of the edit: actually no, none of my comments on 0.18 instances show up on the instances themselves, I just thought some did since they had at least one upvote but they might just be from people who were eg. browsing through Beehaw or another 0.17 instance

edit 3: revenge of the edit: turns out this isn't a 0.18.x problem but a wider Lemmy problem due to the design simply being unable to scale: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3101

There are problems with Lemmy federation in general some of which seem to be worse between 0.17 and 0.18 instances. There's not a clear cut indicator for identifying these issues.

I'll make a github issue for this, looks like there's only one about 0.18 not federating outbound with non-Lemmy instances but I couldn't find one about 0.17 -> 0.18
