cant see own post on community? (self.asklemmy)

why is it that when i post on some communities i cant see my post on the community but apparently at least some other people can see and respond to it?

example is when i posted on the kgatlw community about the band called doom gong recently.

is it some kind of federation shenanigans like when a server is not federated with one but the other one is?

...now that i think about it, this is probably something thst has been asled before, i should have checked before posting this but ill still post anyways.

another question, if that is the case then is there a easy way to tell which servers are federated with which?

fixed: turns out hide read posts setting was enabled so i didnt see them, i had to change it on through the browser login, changing it in the voyager app for lemmy didnt change it.

Maybe read posts are hidden? You'll have to log in to your instance in a browser to check.

Ah yes thankyou! That solved it, I haven't messed with the settings at all on Lemmy.zip as far as I know so I think that must've been a default setting.

Check also the language you set for your posts. Some servers requires this for your posts to be visible.
