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.

    That community only accepts posts in ‘undermined’ language, so if you aren’t seeing anything from there, but you can when you log out (to simulate everyone else’s view of it), then it’s probably a user setting that prevents you from seeing stuff from that language. If you go to the ‘collapse’ community and posts by ‘Midnight’ are missing, then it’ll be that (similarly there’s a comment here from ‘originallucifer’ - if you haven’t seen it, it’s 'cos of the language thing).

      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.

        Interesting. Funnily enough, my comments are coming through to Lemmy as ‘Undermined’ too (just a PieFed bug, easily fixed), so the fact that you saw it (as well as the comments by the others I mentioned) means it’s not a language thing. That’s good, in a way, because it should be physically impossible to actually de-select it.

        So, sorry - at least we can rule one thing out, but I don’t have any more suggestions.
