to chime in generally beyond trying to reproduce what's causing this: there are a lot of weird things that go on with federation that are--frankly--inscrutable to us. in a lot of cases like this we find that we have no sense of why it's like that; in many cases where we do, it's not immediately clear what the fix is (if any). in the long term i'd like for people more familiar with the technical side of federation to help troubleshoot issues like this and maybe compile something we can quickly refer to for diagnoses.

Thanks! Yeah federation must be crazy hard, especially when it involves different software "talking" to each other.
I think kbin is still in development so it might be at their end.
Hey there, could you tell us what community this is happening on? It'd help us troubleshoot why this might be happening
Hi, yes it's !c/[email protected]
There are no issues with federating that community it seems, we just banned its prominent poster (https://beehaw.org/u/[email protected]).
Why was this poster banned?
It appears it was because of misoginy and queerphobia.
On this post (https://beehaw.org/post/561345), they were advocating for women to be treated as inferiors based on the story of Adam and Eve.
On this post (https://beehaw.org/post/562870), they were advocating for people to stop celebrating pride, compared gay people to murderers and thiefs and advancing the idea of a bigoted "silent majority".
Looking at their newer posts on kbin, I think this was the right call.
Okay, the plot thickens, because I definitely can't see that poster's posts. I will screenshot for you.
Glad that person is banned here. They would not be a good fit.
Argh I hit delete instead of enter, the above comment is meant to say:

Edit: this is weird, because I'm definitely having problems and can't see that user at all over there.
Here are screenshots of how it looks to me:

comments on a post: https://ibb.co/6wDYKhn
view of comments on same post over at their native instance: https://ibb.co/Qf35yj7
Right that comment you see there shows a comment from 10A. Since we ban that person, their comment doesn't show up. All of the other posts on that community are from 10A hence they don't show up either.
As a side note, I think you might be posting to the wrong community for what you're looking for..
Ah that explains the comments!
Might explain the posts too if they make all the content. Looking at their instance I can see someone called Striker7 posted once as well but if they're banned here, too that would explain why it seems like a completely empty community.

Yes, Tucker Carlson is not what I wanted. He should not be conserved at all!
Strike7's post... well, I'm not sure about that one. It's been a month since it was posted so we would have no logs to debug this unfortunately.
Ah well. I think the mystery is basically solved.
I feel even happier about being accepted to Beehaw now, knowing that you are protecting us from bigots across the whole fediverse!
Hell yeah 😎
