This post still hasn't federated over. So I don't think Lemmy.world posts come to Lemmy.ca posts yet.
But today, Lemmy.ca posts seem to be appearing correctly (or more correctly) on Lemmy.world.
They've been having some trouble with upgrades, they're going to try again tomorrow: https://lemmy.world/post/875584?scrollToComments=true

This comment here, I made it from https://lemmy.world. And... its not here yet on the lemmy.ca side! The https://lemmy.world thinks that the post is getting transferred over, but... there's a bug. Something seems to be stopping my post from coming over.
On this subject: the https://lemmy.world administrators have been investigating the federation issue on their end (see: https://lemmy.world/post/818810). Note that https://lemmy.world is still on version 0.17.4.
I'm wondering if the problem could be on the https://lemmy.ca end as well, or a bug in 0.18.0. In either case, I felt the need to report this federation-bug.
I know that various lemmy-administrators have been forced to tweak worker-settings and play around with timeouts to get federation working correctly (or at least, working better). The default settings are simply not workable, not with the #RedditBlackout growth upon this corner of the Fediverse.
There are known federation issues with 0.18.0 that are supposed to be fixed in 0.18.1. We'll be upgrading this weekend hopefully.
Another test post! This time from Lemmy.world running on the new 0.18.1-rc4 server backend.
Hey hey, this one worked!! Trying a reply and going the other way.
It's not just federation. For at least a good week, those with certain clients would get messages about it being an outdated version. Apparently they're waiting for a patch to fix captcha's before moving up so, fair enough. Content actually continued to load.
However, today opening jerboa crashed it when attempting to contact lemmy.world. Only clearing out disk/cache helped with this, but this of course resulted in all accounts being logged out, and the lemmy.world one being unable to login again (possibly due to the version mismatch, possibly due to other issues).
I'm hoping what things get patched up it'll be good again but for now Lemmy in general is more of a beta, and I fear it'll get worse as Reddit drops the hammer on the API and kills 3rd-party clients
This is a test post from my Lemmy.world account. Did this make it through?
I can see this on lemmy.ca 🫡
Woah, even the old post finally went through. That one took more days of waiting, but whatever the admins did this past weekend must have allowed it to go through finally.
Yeah, I'm guessing there was a huge backlogs of posts and comments that were in the federation queue or something.
