I ran across an odd delay today. While looking at my main Lemmy.world top page an amateur radio instance scrolled in. I assume someone on Lemmy.World subscribed and the content was synced. I tried to make a post and subscribe, but the comment never propagated. I checked the federation list and everything seemed in order. So I logged into my sopuli.xyz account/instance and that amateur radio server didn’t exist. But I could manually get to it using the /c/community@instance link. About 4 hours later I posted a comment from sopuli - and it showed up on the original instance server almost immediately (I’ve now got three tabs - the am radio instance, Lemmy.world, and sopuli.xyz). Not only that but my Sopuli comment showed up in my Lemmy.world instance almost immediately. The post I made from Lemmy.world still hasn’t propagated to any other server but the post from sopuli propagated everywhere instantly.
I can see a less patient redditor just giving up entirely with this kind of inconsistency, even ignoring that there are (for ex) three amateur radio communities and one kbin magazine, not all of which are visible even on federated instances.
