    i’m pretty sure searching for it does force it to be “fetched”. you can do the same with comments. but i don’t know why they’re not being federated automatically.

      i made a few more missing posts appear on other instances by searching for them there, but searching for comment links (to missing comments) hasn’t worked for me yet.

        to search for comments you need to get the comment url, and remove the /post/##### part, so it’s basically just https://[lemmy instance]/comment/#####, and search for that.

          thanks, that worked, i made a missing comment appear elsewhere.

          oddly the lemmy.ml/comment/xxx URLs are 404 when fetched in my browser, but it did cause the comment to get federated when i searched for a url like that on another instance just now. 🤷
