This could be happening with other instances but I’ve only seen it with lw. Occasionally I’ll make posts into lemmy.world communities that just don’t federate. It’s not delayed federation – the post always exists in that community but only on the copy of it here and only Lemmy.ca users can see it and interact with it. It’s kinda like a secret Canadian version of the community, I guess.
It’s more of an inconvenience because it happens fairly infrequently but is this a known problem? Is it resolvable?
They (lemmyworld) are still on 0.19.3 with some modifications, while we on lemmy.ca are on 0.19.9. I think there were some fixes related to federation that was included between the versions.
There was talk they were going to upgrade at some point soon.
Cool. Well I guess I’ll just keep occasionally hanging in the secret Canadian communities til they get around to updating. Thanks!
