Ok, this is a weird problem I’ve had happened twice now. I make a post (one was to a kbin magazine, one to a lemmy community), and I’ll get notifications that there are comments. But when I go to the post to look at them, it will say “5 comments” but show none of them and say there are no comments. But, if I log out, I can see the comments. If I log back in, they’re gone. I’ve tried in different browsers (Safari and Firefox) and had the same issue.
If it was once, I’d think it was a fluke, but it’s twice now, and on different federated sites.
I have a beehaw account; I can try searching for it on beehaw and if interacting with that way helps it federate.
Edit: wow, that super did not work. Searching for the federated kbin link returned this.
I don’t think you have to do anything that extreme, that is, you could just upvote your own post (and if you don’t want to do that, un-upvote it as well, haha). Although… I just clicked the link and lemmy.world appears to be down, at least when I tried, so maybe now isn’t the best time to try to post something to them >.> (edit: actually worked right after that, guess it’s just a bit spotty)
Upvoting it didn’t work (neither did searching for it on Mastodon, but that did at least pull up the post, unlike the fail of trying to search for it through beehaw), but adding a comment did. Now it’s visible on lemmy.
