Do you mean https://lemm.ee/post/56789435?scrollToComments=true maybe? Several people in there seem to be complaining about the same thing, but it’s not happening for me on my instance, not sure what’s going on.
I think it’s a federation bug. That post is on https://community.nodebb.org/, which isn’t a Lemmy instance but actually a different software.
Which in itself is cool! There are a few projects being worked on right now to make traditional forums compatible with activity pub. The idea being that someday you’ll be able to follow and post in official support forums for things right from your Lemmy account.
But right now, it might be causing some weird federation bug. Maybe the date of the post shows up to Lemmy as sometime in the future and so it’s always the “newest” post (or something similar)?
My guess is that the post was submitted with incorrect timestamp, and despite being adjusted to the correct one, it doesn’t seem to be taken into account correctly in Lemmy. Maybe the post was set far into the future and it’s gonna be stuck there in new until forever 🤣
(Un)fortunately, I don’t see the issue on the local instance I’m on, otherwise I’d check the timestamp in the database just to figure out the root cause.

Yup, that is the one. So not something I am doing wrong then just some current oddity with the site. I can live with that, was just curious. Thanks!

That is cool, I did not even realize that Lemmy can interact with different software that way. It really is such an awesome idea!
