None. An instance that federates with everyone will end up defederated themselves, because they'll end up full of bigots and trolls

Or illegal content because of the way content replicates unfortunately. I don't care about people's opinions, I actually want to see the actual, real range of human opinion and ideas, but I worry about content - it's why I would never consider hosting my own instance.

Sorry, best we can do is edgelord instances full of bot spam

I can do without unfiltered bigotry relentlessly aimed at my community. That got old years ago.
There's plenty of places I can find unfiltered bigotry. That's not what I'm looking for here
I’ve still never seen it. What was that like? What happened?
I think Lemmy.today doesn't defederate.
lemmy.sdf.org
Keep in mind, defederation is bidirectional. You can end up on an instance that doesn't defederate anybody but is being defederated by some major instances and end up worse off. Also, communities are bound to an instance so even if your instance doesn't defederate with another, the instance that hosts the community might, which also doesn't solve anything.
Also lemmy.ml had to restore from backup monday because postgres shat itself, so if the post is from monday or around, it's possible it was simply lost due to the technical problems.
There's also some federation problems with 0.19.0 and 0.19.1, so it's possible it's been attempted to be delivered to lemmy.ml but failed due to load or whatever.
You didn't give any details or examples so we can only speculate. We troubleshoot federation by establishing patterns, like from what instance are the missing comments from, what instance hosts the community.
Addendum: I've also been experiencing occasional ghost posts, and I'm on my own instance, so there might be some stuff going on that's unrelated, because I sure didn't do anything. If they were deleted or retracted I would see them because I'm admin, I see everything.
