I'm having issues with being unable to post to Lemmy, commenting still works
No real issue with comments, but my posts only show up on this server, and not on the remote one. This is so bad that I was thinking on getting a Lemmy account for posting there.
I think this might be a two way issue. I usually post on Kbin magazines from an account on Midwest.social since Lemmy has a more mature app ecosystem at this point, and none of the comments I made from that account in the last couple of days seem to have made their way over.
Same here. When I started trying to post a few weeks ago it was intermittent. Sometimes it went through, other times I needed to "massage" the post by interacting with it (upvoting, commenting, etc.), sometimes it appeared on the local version of the magazine, sometimes just on my profile. But the past week or so it's been really bad. I gave up trying to fight with it and just made an account on a Lemmy instance to post from.
There's a couple things that could be happening, but I'm gonna go with my gut and ask do you have any domains blocked? There's been repeated issues with domain blocking affecting your ability to post (in fact, I had to clear all my domain blocking to properly post to kbin). This is the first thing I'd check.
The next thing would be to see if those instances or communities banned you. This seems unlikely, as it's affecting you on both lemmy.world and lemmy.blahaj.zone. The last thing could be that these communities have defederated or blocked kbin users due to past spam issues (@Technology is still blocked on lemmy.world due to this), but I haven't seen it implemented in this way before.
But I'd start with the domain blocking - 90% of the time when people have problems posting on kbin, that's the cause.
Bummer - looks like your post did show on lemmy.blahaj.zone, and I see that you got one up on @gothindustrial. Leads me to think it might be a community ban on @spookymemes for why your toy post didn't show up there. blahaj.zone was probably just slow.
