    In the OP you are looking at two different /c/science communities, namely !science@lemmy.ml and !science@lemmygrad.ml. So the “same” posts you are seeing are just crossposts by the same user. On this site you can see the outgoing federation status (for lemmy.ml in this case). Hexbear is listed under “up to date”, and for lemmygrad as well.

    Such problems can also happen because of language settings or user blocks. So best view these post listings while logged out or in a private browser window.

    • Yeah, I did a shit job of documenting this properly and should have taken better screenshots+updated the main post when I realized how useless all the ones I took were, especially before/when pinging, but there was a legit federation issue there for a while and it still existed when I made that comment, but does seem to have resolved since.

      Sorry, I’ll do a better job in the future. Thanks for that link, it should be helpful.

        No worries. I suppose such temporary federation problems happen occasionally, but you wouldn’t notice if you only browse a single instance. Do you know if any of the involved instances was down or unreachable around that time? Then it would be normal that federation gets paused for a time while waiting for the instance to come online.

        • I was able to xpost via Hexbear throughout, and could then see my posts from/to hexbear to xpost elsewhere. I didn’t check whether federation was working or not from anywhere else.

          Both have had some blips recently that I’ve hit, but I was noticing more issues with Hexbear downtime than Lemmygrad.
