I’m still learning the quirks of federation and the behaviors of communities hosted on different instances, so I apologize if this is something that’s been asked repeatedly.
I made a post to a community I am subscribed to at lemmy.ca, from my home instance at slrpnk.net. Public posts on that community (as well as the post that I made) are not showing up from my home instance. My profile page on my home instance does not show any record of the post that I made.
I was only able to find existence of the post that I made by going to lemmy.ca, and then finding the community that I posted to from there.
If this is about your post in [email protected], I can see it just fine by checking the post history from your profile. I’m using Voyager.
Yes it is. That’s interesting, it’s still not showing up on my profile for me.
Also checked on Voyager, nothing.

Awesome, logging out (switching to ‘guest’) made everything show up from my home instance.
I am/was able to see the comment from originalucifer, however, from before I logged out.
I am able to see posts from ‘Midnight’ on the ‘collapse…’ community when logged in.
Communities only federate to an instance once someone from the instance has subscribed to the community.
So an hour later, while logged out (in incognito mode) I am seeing your post on https://slrpnk.net/c/[email protected] and can find it on your home instance directly at https://slrpnk.net/post/14701745 - this is in addition to seeing it on https://lemmy.ca/c/woodworking and directly on the magazine’s instance at https://lemmy.ca/post/31909201
Also, the post likewise shows up for me when I view your profile on either your home instance at https://slrpnk.net/u/technomad or on the magazine’s instance at https://lemmy.ca/u/[email protected] (and again, that’s logged out and in incognito mode).
Finally, I see your post on lemmy.world in the same three places - the magazine https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] , your profile https://lemmy.world/u/[email protected] , and the direct post itself https://lemmy.world/post/21403325
Sometimes posts from lemmy.world take up to three days to federate to my instance, so an hour isn’t too bad really.
What community is it?
It is on your profile. Do you have “Undetermined” selected in your language settings?
The language settings are set to auto.
I’m using the Photon frontend if it helps.
The auto-setting is about what the language the frontend uses, what Blaze meant is the language visibility setting in your profile.
Edit: hmm, I can’t actually find that setting in Photon, but what ever you set it in the classic lemmy-ui might still effect visibility on Photon.
I need to add language settings to communities and profiles. I really dislike how lemmy handles this though.
If you change it in lemmy-ui, it will propagate to Photon because it’s an account wide setting.
Ah, so that confirms my suspicion that is propagates from lemmy-ui, thanks.
I agree that the way this is currently handled in lemmy-ui is really bad, but I am not sure how to do it better either. At the very least “undetermined” should probably always enabled and not possible to accidentally unselect.
I’m wondering too. /u/[email protected] was it the woodworking one?
Yes that one
Curious, did you get a long from my mention or did I format it wrong?
I believe to ping someone, you need to put an @ symbol before their name instead of /u/. Depending on how you’re interacting with Lemmy (web or app) it should provide some means of auto completing the ping.
sounds like an issue with your local instance. federation seems to work, as you imply the post shows in the remote community.
i have seen that behavior before with database/process issues causing the local post not to show despite it being successfully sent to the remote.
