I never thought that "getting pulled out of one's instance" was a thing or even a problem. Why would that be a problem?

Because you might not want to visit another instance - the instance you register with is the one you trust with your traffic. Who knows whether the other instance is running pure lemmy or is compromised somehow with alternate code. Also, you're simply not logged in to that instance, so you can't interact with the post there. And there's the fact that linking to a post and not an image doesn't let you expand the image in situ.

Ay-o interesting, and this disconnect between instances might also explain why when I delete a comment I've made, people are still ~~uploading~~ upvoting and downvoting it and responding to it somehow. And that's an instance thing, isn't it? Like it only gets deleted in my instance but still appears elsewhere

Ohh yeah, that reminds me, on Jerboa I was able to view other peoples' deleted comments somehow since the 0.19.1 update. That was kinda fun - I wonder if they fixed that in 0.19.2?

But yeah the upvote/downvote of deleted comments thing was actually a bug fix. Before 0.19.1, deleted comments would take out the entire tree - you couldn't really see the rest of the comments beneath it unless you came at one of them with a direct link. They fixed that, but at the same time left a bit of a hole in the API.

I've also seen an occasion where moderation action on another instance hadn't quite federated through everywhere. And I know for a fact my instance does not run pure lemmy code - not that I see it as a bad thing, our admin really knows his stuff and makes things more robust. When shit has hit the fan with other instances, he was front and centre helping them, while his instance was immune before it even happened.

Edit: They haven't fixed that bug: https://lemm.ee/comment/8151715

Incidentally, I find it really annoying that you can't make an instance agnostic link to a post or comment. Every instance just gives each one a number, but the different numbers across each instance. You can type /u/[email protected] and it should make a link that anyone can click in their own instance, but you can't do the same with posts or comments.

Since I am a serial offender when it comes to deleting any of my regretted comments, I'd get a little thrill noticing that deleted comments would take out the entire tree. Mwah-ah-AH

Yeah hah I swear one or two comment chain arguments I had with people were tactically deleted. Now it swings the other way!
