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.
Also, I wonder if the null domain thing is causing another issue I just had pop up?
I tried to post from kbin to a lemmy server, and got an error message. The odd thing is, the post shows up on kbin when I go to the community page, but it does not show up on lemmy. I took a screen cap of the error when I had it happen twice. For both, it was a new thread, so no link, so there’s no domain.
Here’s the post on kbin: https://kbin.social/m/baldurs_gate_3@lemmy.world/t/375681/The-toughest-part-of-the-game
But if you browse the community on Lemmy, it’s not there: https://lemmy.world/c/baldurs_gate_3?dataType=Post&page=1&sort=New
Posts with links have gone through just fine, but the null-domain one did not.
Believe you’re correct. I think cooperaj mentioned it in the issue but they experienced the same thing, when you get the error it does not appear to federate.
It being interacted with, such a upvoting or boosting might make it federate after that. (I think this might actually be linked to https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/875 but am holding off without more proof.) Of course, it being interacted with to get it to federate is difficult on kbin.social where anyone who blocks any domains won’t even see it in the first place :(
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.
