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

    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.
