I can see this post just fine.
I'm seeing this comment organically (I e. Not via your profile) fine on Lemmy.fmhy.ml.
Programming.dev seeing you just fine
Weird stuff is happening with Federation. I was in a huge discussion on a post with over 500 comments, as a kbin user talking primarily to Lemmy users. Since I'm still evaluating Lemmy vs kbin, I decided to go see what they thread looked like from a Lemmy users perspective since it was fairly large. I happen to already have an account on the instance this big conversation was happening on. I cannot find it. I sorted by Hot, Active, even sorted by Comments since it had so many. It's simply not there. And yet, I can see it via kbin, and plenty of Lemmy people can see it because we all commented on it all day yesterday. But the instance that actually hosts the community it all happened on doesn't show the post at all.
Strange things are afoot in the Fediverse.
Yea ... AFAIU, each community is duplicated or mirrored on every instance that has at least one subscriber. And that mirror can function on its own, even once federation ceases. For instance, in the case of the beehaw defederation with lemmy.world, there were people on lemmy.world who thought that it didn't affect anything because the beehaw communities they had subscribed to were still there and functioning. In reality, the beehaw communities on lemmy.world were orphaned and only worked for lemmy.world users, as it couldn't sync with its original or main duplicate on beehaw.
What you describe though sounds more funky. I would be surprised if duplicates of a community can sync with each other without going through the original/main community. But that seems to be what you story implies ... interesting!
Any link to the community or clue on how to find the post?
So it seems the issue is intermittent, as other comments have testified. Still might be a problem worth addressing.
But it is a real issue. The regular 'nginx 500' errors on lemmy.ml and other instances are a problem that is impacting federaton, not just webapp clients.

This thread has huge ham radio vibes and I love it.
Just seen your post from feddit.uk :) I do agree though, I have an account on feddit and on lemmy.world and when I view the same communities from both accounts I see a totally different number of comments or no comments at all / some posts don't show up / whatever. There's definitely some issues going on here and there.
This. I’m commenting from rblind.com, and yours is the only comment I’m seeing, pun not intended. I hadn’t really noticed this until now, I just assumed Lemmy wasn’t all that popular yet. I’m guessing I’d see no comments whatsoever if I wasn’t subscribed to communities on feddit.uk.
Things are definitely a bit wonky. Between federation issues and the fact that the language settings are so convoluted I'm surprised anyone is seeing anything!
I'm reading your post from my account at feddit.de. So there's that.
Jup, Same here
I can see your post from my instance, so I think they are fine...
I'm on lemmy.world and see your post just fine, with all its comments.
I also went directly to lemmy.ml to check and I don't see differences from what I see on lemmy.world, maybe it's just a delay on federation? Accessing lemmy.ml sometimes give a bad gateway error.
I can see this from dormi.zone
I see your post from kbin.social (which isn't even a Lemmy instance)
I saw you from Aussie.world
I noticed this yesterday as well. Made a post from lemmy.ca to lemmy.world I saw on lemmy.ca my post had about 100 upvotes and a bunch of comments.
Hopped into kbin because everyone kept raving about it, so my post with like 160 upvotes and way more comments.
Kept hopping back and forth between instances trying to reply to comments that would only appear on Kbin.
So I created an account on Kbin with the same username so I could reply to comments that didn't appear on lemmy.ca.
Kbin.social is definitely the most polished instance right now.
Hello from beehaw
I thought beehaw defederated? Confused
They defederated from shitjustworks and Lemmy.world. They left .ml federated.
So I can see them and they can see me on kbin?
Beehaw user confirming yes
