It seems that p.d didn’t or wasn’t able to fetch the community moderator list yet, which would prevent it from accepting any new posts to the community, as it’s set to allow posting by mods only and the bot isn’t detected as mod yet.

I think the only way (without manual intervention) might be to access the community after 24h to have Lemmy refresh this from the origin server.

I think it’s federating. Are you following that community? I think federation sometimes only works for new content after the first follower.

This post federated for me after following multiple communities that /u/bot@rss.ponder.cat was moderating.

edit: I think I’m wrong. I just checked and there are new New York Times articles that didn’t federate.

Cool! I didn’t know about this instance.

How does it work?
