As per this post, it seems Lemmy World is having federation issues. I've had some of my posts and comments get suspiciously low response, so I've looked into it and it turns out that many of them aren't showing on other instances.
Here's an example: my Payday 3 post is only visible on Lemmy.world:
Meanwhile, in other instances, it doesn't show up at all:
It's not clear if this issue is exclusive to this instance but I thought I'd give people a heads up. I reposted and now it showed up in other instances. If you feel like you're getting no response from other communities, check on another instance if your content is visible, otherwise repost it.
I believe this is a side effect of the 0.17 vs 0.18 split which unfortunately wasn't backwards compatible. Once 0.18.1 rolls out with readded captcha everything should be hunky-dory again.
Fingers crossed it doesn't take that long!
Interesting that’s it’s been days without a minor beta at all. Where in the race for 0.18 the updates were 12 hourly at one point. Guess all the devs burnt the candle at both end. Much appreciated ❤️
