Some of my posts and comments are not showing up on the original instance. (kbin.social)

First example: Four days ago I posted an article to two different c/collapse communities. If I browse each community on their instance, my posts don't show up.
Example

Second example: I posted to a community but comments on my post don't appear unless I go to their instance. When I leave a comment it also doesn't show up for them.
Example

Can anyone explain what is going on?

This is a workaround, but... If the original instance you posted to allows global search for non logged-in users, you can click your comment or thread > more > copy url to fediverse and paste that into their search box. It will likely show no results the first time, but click search again and if it was able to pull the comment it should now show up.

I've also noticed sometimes my threads (posts) don't federate out properly, but comments (notes) federate out quickly and those will include pulling the original thread. Sometimes I will add a comment to my original posted thread to bypass whatever issue that is.
