    If you check the bot via other instance, the user simply didn’t exists. It likely due to this is the bot first post so it take some time to register the user to other federated instance…me think

      can you search for the bot username @monyetbot@monyet.cc in the search box of those other instances?

      if it does not appear, then we’ll very likely need to change bot usernames due to it not being accepted by other instances

      edit: just checked https://lemmy.zip/u/waiter_bot@monyet.cc is okay, so it is not that other instances are auto-rejecting bot users

          maybe instances are rejecting bots that have admin status?

          but that would not really make sense

          that’s because all of my new comments have been on this thread, which is opened by monyetbot which other instances consider non-existent, and so all comments on this thread are auto-rejected because the opening poster is rejected

          correction, i also posted in announcements, but that is not federated to lemmy.zip: https://lemmy.zip/c/announcements@monyet.cc

          it is federated to lemmy.world though, and my last comment on there is from announcements

          it may be a related issue, but as crabby has discovered, the monyetbot user itself is rejected by other instances, and other instances can’t list a user that doesn’t exist in their db as mod

          i think it has been more or less confirmed, that for some reason monyetbot is not appearing as user on other instances, and with that all posts started by monyetbot will not federate, and neither will comments to those posts

          edit: i don’t think posting any more comments under monyetbot will solve the problem, as the search box is supposed to find users even with 0 comments, so other instances are just not accepting monyetbot
