Federation Query

Hi all, I'm very new to this fediverse thing!

I've recently setup my own instance of Lemmy which I've called "CompuVerse".

This seems to be going quite well, the instance is setup, I seem to be able to view content from other instances and even comment and such!

However, I'm noticing a few oddities. I'm not sure if I'm just misunderstanding something about how the fediverse works, but I don't seem to be able to see my comments and posts from other instances.

For example:

lemmy.ml: https://lemmy.ml/u/cameron@compuverse.uk Shows no content for my account

beehaw.org: https://beehaw.org/u/cameron@compuverse.uk Shows comments, but no posts

However, if I view other users' profiles from my own instance, I can see both their posts and comments.

Is this normal or have I managed to mess something up with federation?

Scratch that, upon making this post I've realised what's happening.

It would appear that I can't see any content that I posted to my own instance from other instances such as lemmy.ml and beehaw.org.

Does anyone have any tips at all?

Much appreciated,

Cameron
