Posts not appearing in communities when other group actors are mentioned.

Tried making a post (link below) to a lemmy community while also mentioning two other groups. My post never appeared in the Lemmy community.
This seems like a bug, when I tried posting to two lemmy communities at once the first went through, the second did not.

Does anyone know what's up with this?

@db0 on Mastodon it just boosts the posts, I assume that's what Lemmy also does in addition to copying it and formatting the data as a post.

If I oversimplified or got that wrong I'd definitely appreciate if @dessalines or @nutomic could correct me on that. As far as I know there doesn't seem to be a reason why the same post can't appear simultaneously in multiple communties, since they're just boosts and duplicates on the federated instances. @lemmy_support
