Another issue is whether the post from a remote instance is colocated on your local instance. It could be the case that your instance never observed the post, as no users on your local instance where first subscribed, to the remote community the post was summited to, before the post was published.

This is probably not the correct place to as this and I don't know the inner workings of Lemmy, so forgive the stupid question. Does that mean, for an external post to get a programming.dev ID does someone in programming.dev instance to have been subscribed to the community the post was originally shared? Is that why I don't see any posts at for example https://programming.dev/c/[email protected] even though I see them at https://voyager.lemmy.ml/c/testbot42? If that's the case, it sounds like an important limitation.

The first link you listed (viewing the remote community from our local instance) shows 0 subscribers from the sidebar. From my understanding, no one from our instance is then subscribed to that remote community, so our instance has no reason to index those posts. Although I could be wrong, and it could be that no one from our local instance is subscribed to any community on the remote instance. I'm unsure if only instance federation or community subscription is necessary for merrioring/indexing remote posts.

I see, thanks. That's a test instance and therefore there may be other restrictions related to federation for that particular example.
