Federation issue with lemmy.world (lemmy.ca)

This could be happening with other instances but I've only seen it with lw. Occasionally I'll make posts into lemmy.world communities that just don't federate. It's not delayed federation -- the post always exists in that community but only on the copy of it here and only Lemmy.ca users can see it and interact with it. It's kinda like a secret Canadian version of the community, I guess.

It's more of an inconvenience because it happens fairly infrequently but is this a known problem? Is it resolvable?

Edit: this just happened with the last story I posted to c/world. When it wasn't on the actual l.w page, I deleted it, reposted it, and it worked fine. In the past though, there have been stretches of up to a few hours where nothing makes it off the server.

They (lemmyworld) are still on 0.19.3 with some modifications, while we on lemmy.ca are on 0.19.9. I think there were some fixes related to federation that was included between the versions.

There was talk they were going to upgrade at some point soon.

Cool. Well I guess I'll just keep occasionally hanging in the secret Canadian communities til they get around to updating. Thanks!
