Following this comment: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4039#issuecomment-1773482259 I updated the timestamps in the instance table of midwest.social’s database. We’ll see if that fixes anything. Fingers crossed. For example, the updated timestamp column for lemmy.world was sometime on 10-30-23.
one comment of mine on a lemmy.world post has federated over there (https://midwest.social/comment/4419626).
a few others have not. (https://midwest.social/comment/4311755 and https://lemmy.world/comment/5044175 should be the same, my comment doesn’t show there)
If the comment was made before I did the fix then it’s not likely to federate.
Ah OK, makes sense!
