How come some of my posts get a shit ton of upvotes but others don’t get any rule

One was funnier than the others?

Maybe, but the Jimmy you Dumb Fuck post deserves at least 1 or two upvotes imo
- I can’t see that one in your history. Can you share it here, now I’m curious.

Looking from lemmy.blahaj.zone, it looks like those posts didn't federate. I don't see them on your profile from here but if I look at your account on your instance I see them.

That’s so odd. I don’t get it. /gen
It’s not like blahaj.zone and lemmy.studio are defederated from each other, because then I wouldn’t be able to post on this sub in the first place, right?
Maybe it’s because I started using Memmy the same day I posted those posts? Idk.
- My guess is you posted them while blahaj.zone was down. When lemmy.studio tried to send the post over it timed out and it never tried again.
  But that's only a guess. I would have to actually dig into the federation algorithms and know how exactly lemmy.studio is configured to be sure.

I've had posts in my sh.itjust.works community not show up on lemmy.blahaj.zone when posted, but eventually they do show up. It could take a few days, dunno if that helps

That sounds similar to what I’m dealing with
Still, it would be nice for people to get to see my posts right away so they don’t get buried in newer posts.
- Its happened to me. I just delete and repost which makes it work, which seems to mean it shouldnt take that long at all.

I think Lemmy’s sorting algorithms may be a little unstable. It could also be delays introduced by federation. I’ve had posts sitting at no upvotes for several days and then suddenly get a bunch all at once.

Pretty sure the joka one hit frontpage on hexbear. I remember upvoting it at least

Maybe certain posts are shadowbanned. When I go to your profile I can't see half of them

I guess… but why would those specific posts get shadowbanned? I don’t think there’s anything wrong or problematic about them /gen
- Yes. It could also be a federation issue
