It goes beyond posts, it’s comments as well - I don’t know who is the culprit, but I think it has something to do with API requests to lemmy.world silently failing. I noticed when trying to subscribe from other instances to communities here, it may take up to 5 tries of unsubscribe/subscribe and/or subscribing and waiting for 10 minutes without touching the browser window. When I do the same from other instances to each other (lemm.ee to kbin.social, lemmy.sdf.org to kbin.socal, e.g.) it works instantly. It seems to be when talking to lemmy.world that things… go sour.
Compare the source with comments to 2 remotes with no comments:

I think, for me, it just makes me pause in engaging heavily if I can’t be certain that the results live up to the promise. What I mean by that is if content “homed” on one instance that is the heart of the given community doesn’t properly replicate to remote instances then our foundation is a bit shaky. I am an avid Destiny player and the community here is attracting the most attention, but unless you participate on this server directly the federated results are random. :-/
