    Lol I comment anywhere without checking instances or communities and answered that one. Is this how I find out I’m shadow banned

      Not entirely true.

      I have another account on another instance, and when viewing the same threads, I will see different comments from each instance.

      It’s not a shadow banning as much as it is either a limitation of lemmy or an issue with federation and defederation

        Oh yeah, true. There some lag between instances because of federation queues and such?

        Although all actual bans are also shadow. I don’t think there’s not any information to the user unless they stumble upon the modlog

      probably defederated.

      ironic that the developers of lemmy defederate their own instance

        I thought if that instance would defed an instance I’m on, I wouldn’t even see the posts

          They wouldn’t be able to see content or comments from your instance, but you could see theirs and comment, which other instances that aren’t defederated with you could also see.
