I just made this post https://programming.dev/post/4307457

but it isn't showing up here https://sh.itjust.works/c/speedrun

I had a similar issue on a previous post but I didn't think much of a single failure and fixed that one myself by doing the search

https://programming.dev/post/4295735

but now I see it happening again and with a different instance I think there's something wrong

To convert the process into Mastodon terms, a community is like a dummy user, it's not like a hashtag. Making a post to a community is like doing a mention tag to it, like @communityname@instancename, so the community's home instance should always see all the posts to it. (This is the part that I noticed wasn't working)

The community boosts every post to it, so every user who is subscribed/following the community can see the posts that it boosts, which means the instances hosting the subscribers/followers will receive copies of the posts, so federation is automatic there because of the boost.
