@nutomic well @srgray, this issue isn't actually about federation persay, its about something changing with how webfinger is handled. if you want to test with your instance, try copying the link to an individual comment from the fediverse icon on lemmy and searching for it from mastodon. that used to work just great for every instance before 0.18 and no longer works for me and many others.

the admin of lemmy.ca has been trying to manually fix this issue so if it does work for you thats why

FWIW, I’ve tried searching comments from a few instances on either 18 or 17.4 and in each case, independently of how old the comment is, 17.4 comments were found quickly and never for 18, as you say.

Now that I'm back at a computer, I can confirm that searching the link to a comment is indeed a bug for me.

Interesting that those same comments show up in my feed.

Hopefully you tech folk will figure it out swiftly!
