Neither of my posts from yesterday and today have made it out to their communities’ home instance (lemmy.world), and neither has received any comments or votes. It seems like something to do with outgoing federation is stuck.
Edit to clarify:
The problem I’m seeing affects posts. I don’t know if it affects comments.
It’s possible that it only affects lemmy.world communities, but it definitely affects them even on other instances. Neither of these posts are showing up on any remote instance that I’ve seen:

6 days later, it’s happening again:
The sidebar shows only a moderator. I assume they can see this discussion already, but if you have reason to think they relay problem reports upstream when pinged, I suppose I could ping them.
A try is the only thing that can beat a fail, I suppose?
I’ll take that to mean you have no particular reason to think that. As a general rule, I don’t like to poke the mods about operational problems that they are likely already aware of. They’re not sysadmins, after all, and having been in those shoes, I know extra demands for attention can get tiresome.
But if this persists for long, I might poke the mod. If other people start noticing it as well, perhaps they will bring it up, too.
What can any of us itt do?
