The lemmy.world bubble is back
(lemmy.world)
For the past days I've noticed that posts/comments I make on my lemmy.world account are not (or rather very slowly, if ever) federated to the source instance of the community and post/comments that are on the source are not (or rather very slowly, if ever) federated to the local copy on lemmy.world.
The result is again (as it was before 0.18.1) that lemmy.world users are living in a bubble in which they see each othery posts/comments but nobody else does.
Is this a known issues and is this going to be addressed?
I'm not the OP, but I have an example from two days ago posting to a community hosted on feddit.uk:
My comment is https://lemmy.world/comment/1718032, which is present for lemmy.world, but not for feddit.uk
I haven't posted any comments since, so I don't know if it's a one-off thing.
Beehaw's defederation of lemmy.world doesn't seem to be involved in this one.
I have noticed comments made in a community here on lemmy.world not appearing over on feddit.uk too.

But they do show over at lemm.ee

Maybe more of a feddit.uk issue?
My example did not make it to lemm.ee either, so it would not have been exclusively a feddit.uk issue.
I would be really handy for finding out what's going wrong if there were some way to track the history of a posting as it propagates across instances, but I'd imagine that would be quite tricky to do. On the other hand, perhaps these cases simply correlate with downtime either at the origin or at the receiving instance?
