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.
You have to make an account on other instances and then add that community while logged into other instances
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.
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.
