I posted this post on 3D Printing@lemmy.ml and cross-posted it to 3DPrinting@lemmy.world, and apparently it made it to neither.

For the lemmy.world community, I’m not really surprised. I simply can’t create any post on any lemmy.world community from SDF. None of my posts ever shows up there for some reason. But I’m more surprised that it doesn’t show up on lemmy.ml: usually I have zero problems with that instance.

So I’m wondering if there’s a problem with federation or if it has something to do with the large number of photos in my post.

Anybody knows?

    Thanks for sharing your findings. Did you try these things more than once, on different days, to make sure the triggers you think you found weren’t merely coincidences?

      Yeah I did many posts over months on the lemmy.world 3D-printing community - and other communities too. In the best cases, the post went through 2 or 3 hours late. Sometimes up to 2 days late. Usually it never goes through though.

      I usually post things with pictures, so I always have at least a thumbnail picture that I uploaded direct on lemmy.sdf.org.

      This last post I did had a thumbnail hosted on SDF’s Pixelfed and it went right up.

      As for lemmy.ml, I never have problems with it. It’s just this one time because I hit their images limit - that I wasn’t aware of and is documented nowhere as far as I know.
