How the fuck are people not federated with us commenting on my posts, because I don't get a notification, I don't see the comment, but when I look at it from blahaj.zone the comment is there
Basically I made a post on blahaj and someone from kbin commented on it somehow even though we're not federated with them; I only happened to see the comment because I decided to look at how big the emojis looked to blahaj users so I went over to the same post on blahaj and there it was
Kbin is federated with blahaj, and so is hexbear. So both Can see any posts on either site, even if the poster is from an instance one of the two face defederated from.

When I first joined this was a common complaint for posts that were made before a community defederated. Basically a post and its comments are copied to each federated instance and then synchronized as long as the instances remain federated. kbin users are commenting on kbin's copy of the post which is then synchronized to any server that is federated with them.
