No idea how I got there but somehow I saw this post somehow on sh.itjust.works, about a prefab house that was found floating in the Pacific. I wanted to comment but the only login I have is on lemmy.world. Notice the post is from The Picard Maneuver, whose posts I’ve seen many times, and it says lemmy.world above their name.
Lemmy.world has a whitepeopletwitter community but the newest post is 2 months old. This one is from 10 hours ago. Search on the lemmy.world main page for “Minding” turns up a bunch of posts going back months, but this one isn’t there.
I thought I understood how federation works but I’m stumped. Is this really a lemmy.world post? If not, what does the presence of “lemmy.world” on it indicate?
fyi, you can link with a ! to instances, and they get automatically converted to local user instance links:
