Ok so I investigated this for science.
If you visit the community on the original .world URL, there's just today's pinned thread as you'd expect. Viewing through lemm.ee (both web and Liftoff app) I see Friday's thread still pinned too. And according to @thegoblin@digitalgoblin.uk, their instance still sees Sunday's thread pinned.
So I'm gonna say this is probably down to .world's current overload and resulting struggle with federating everything properly. It's a LOT better than it was before they upgraded, but clearly some things are still slipping through the cracks.
Some really interesting points in all the comments. I thought it must be this specific app as nobody else mentioned it. I didn't think about it being a sync issue, I am accessing this through lemmy.ml (I think that's how it works) For completeness, I took a screenshot showing what I can see....it is long though!!

Haha, wow yeah can confirm it's not like that from other instances!
Not entirely surprising though, .ml has been struggling a lot even before the latest wave of Redditors so it's basically fallen over at this point. Saw a post with an interesting visualisation of it earlier https://lemm.ee/post/638126, and the graph updates regularly to show the last hour of data but given that .ml and .world are consistently the most laggy you've got yourself a particularly rough combo there.
Really interesting visualisation. I hope they come up with a way soon of transferring accounts to different instances, that way people can migrate off the central ones a lot easier, spreading the load. As you say, rough combo at the moment though
Yeah. I've actually migrated once manually already (was originally on Beehaw), and tbh it wasn't too bad doing it on desktop it was just a case of opening all my subbed communities in new tabs and then copy pasting the new url to replace the old one and hitting refresh. Still an annoyance, but only took about ten minutes once I got into the groove of it.
That said, I did see someone sharing this link yesterday https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate which is apparently a way to automate bringing your subscriptions to a new account. I've not used it so can't vouch for it but it might be worth checking out. Idk what things are like over on .ml or if they've communicated a plan to fix things up but just sharing in case you do decide to move.
