I’m still learning the quirks of federation and the behaviors of communities hosted on different instances, so I apologize if this is something that’s been asked repeatedly.
I made a post to a community I am subscribed to at lemmy.ca, from my home instance at slrpnk.net. Public posts on that community (as well as the post that I made) are not showing up from my home instance. My profile page on my home instance does not show any record of the post that I made.
I was only able to find existence of the post that I made by going to lemmy.ca, and then finding the community that I posted to from there.
What community is it?
!woodworking@lemmy.ca
It is on your profile. Do you have “Undetermined” selected in your language settings?
The language settings are set to auto.
I’m using the Photon frontend if it helps.
The auto-setting is about what the language the frontend uses, what Blaze meant is the language visibility setting in your profile.
Edit: hmm, I can’t actually find that setting in Photon, but what ever you set it in the classic lemmy-ui might still effect visibility on Photon.

I’m wondering too. /u/technomad@slrpnk.net was it the woodworking one?
I believe to ping someone, you need to put an @ symbol before their name instead of /u/. Depending on how you’re interacting with Lemmy (web or app) it should provide some means of auto completing the ping.
Yes that one
Curious, did you get a long from my mention or did I format it wrong?
No, I didn’t get any notification from your original ping attempt.
