I’ve noticed sometimes that comments and posts to communities on other instances take a very long time to show up on the main instance, sometimes never showing up. Like, I post something, and it shows up on beehaws copy. But, I go to the other instance to look, and I don’t see it (though sometimes it shows up a few hours later). I checked and our two instances were federated in each case I have noticed.
Anyone else notice this? Is this expected?
Some had been in limbo for several hours, so I deleted and reposted one, and it showed up immediately. So I think sometimes things fail to send over, which is unfortunate. Hopefully some better checks get added in for that.
Actually, I noticed that someones reply to me hadn’t federated. I was able to force it by dropping the link into the search. So maybe, if you ever notice a post not going through, that can be a workaround. Still though, a fix would be better.
