I regularly post images to lemmy.world communities but that instance also regularly seemingly fails to actually federate the post on their side.

What do I do when this happens? I can easily tell when it happens, because I can just look at my websites log and see that it isn't being spammed by lemmy requests.

Do I delete it and repost it later?

Does it eventually sort itself out?

Something third entirely?

One example is this post, which does not (at time of posting) exist on lemmy.world https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/27691379

Commenting from Lemmy.world where I saw it in my feed. Not sure if that’s helpful.

It's there. Make sure you're sorting by New as if you're logged out the default is Active:

It seems to have federated now. It wasn't there 30 minutes ago, sorting by new.

I think there are sometimes delays. Sometimes I'll post a comment that gets a few replies, which then appear in my inbox, and I'll check each one to mark as read. Then I'll see another new message a few minutes later, but posted before any of the other ones. It'll get listed earlier in my inbox as well so it shows up as an unread message after the couple of read ones I already checked.

Hmm, I don't have any suggestions for you. db0 outbound federation to lemmy.world hasn't been more than 4 minutes behind in the last 24 hours, and if lemmy.world has received it then it should show. Might need more examples to narrow it down but perhaps @db0@[email protected] might have an idea.

No idea. However there's another federation improvement coming with next lemmy version

How can you tell?

Not OP (and not on lemmy.world), but I don't. When did you post it?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

4 hours ago. I can see it, now. Can you check if you also see it now?

Searched for it and it's there. Don't know if it was before but that's one way to "fix" missing content is to use the search feature and paste the original URL
