So I’m noticing that I don’t seem to get any engagement when I’m posting replies to posts generated on other instances. Just now I thought I’d go directly to a thread on lemmy.world to see if my comment was showing there but it isn’t. Other non lemmy.world users are showing up.

Does anybody else notice this or is it just me?

Example: https://lemmy.sdf.org/comment/6595136 My comment

https://sh.itjust.works/comment/6752604 Who I replied to

https://lemmy.world/comment/6161325 Where the thread originally was posted

Edit: the issue appears to have resolved

    There are a few other threads in this comm about it, been a problem for a while. We’ve been on Lemmy 19.0 rc versions for a long time, but apparently when 19.0 was actually released a week ago it caused propagation issues other places too. 19.1 is out now and hopefully fixes it when this instance is updated.

    I’m hoping soon, but also wouldn’t expect much during the holidays.

      Ok, no biggie. Just wanted to make sure it wasn’t me. I’ve had a couple harsh words about hexbear and .ml only later to discover that the person I was arguing with was one of the actual developers for lemmy. I was getting paranoid that they shadow banned me or something

        Fortunately Lemmy is fully open-source, so we can say categorically that there is no mechanism for shadow-banning in Lemmy.

        You can be banned from a community and possibly blocked by an instance, but not shadowbanned from Lemmy.

          Is there a way to know that a server is actually running the open-source version of Lemmy and not some proprietary modification?

            At the bottom of the pages the version that is being used is displayed above the Modlog link

              And nothing prevents someone from modifying the software and keeping the version information.
