My comment is the only one so far…
I accidentally found that this same post had lots of comments if I access it via this other link:
Are these completely different posts because they’re in different Lemmy instances? Why don’t the two get “joined” together? Do they look separate because the user just posted them twice in different instances, or there’s some “per instance” comments going on?
Beehaw banned 5 users from lemmy.world of like 20,000 and decided to defederate (block) the entire instance (server). You’re posting on a copy stored locally and only other lemmy.world users will see your comments.
Thanks for the clarifications.
I still seem to be able to comment on posts on programming@beehaw.org … only other lemmy.world users will see those comments?
