Some comments and votes from my posts on lemmy.world/c/news aren’t showing up.

This what appears from my account

And this from lemmy.world

    You might not be federated with the users that voted and/or commented. World is a big instance with loads of instances federated.

    They could also be users from blocked instances on your local instance. Or blocked users on your local instance.

    They might even be people you personally blocked. But I’m not sure if it shows up like this.

      It shouldn’t matter if we are federated with the users/voters so long as we haven’t blocked the instance (which is unlikely, we block very few). The instance the community is hosted on is responsible for sending all content from that community to subscribers’ instances, so if we have at least one person subscribed we should see all content we haven’t actively blocked.

      TBH I’m also not sure how content shows when you’ve personally blocked the user or instance rather than it being instance blocking.

        Alright. I stand corrected. I apparently know less about the workings of lemmy than I thought. Thanks for the information!
