Sometimes an API request returns {"comments":[]} and {"posts":[]} respectively, for a post and community, where posts and comments show up on the web frontend. Is that happening to any of you too? How do I handle it?

Edit: did some more testing, it’s most definitely a federation issue. If I query the instance that the post was made on for the comments, everything works fine. If I query my home instance, the result comes back empty.

Edit 2: As always, just after publicly showcasing my lack of programming abilities, I discover it’s been me the entire time. Make sure to await promises and to fetch posts from the correct instance, guys.

    Pretty sure it didn’t work, but I can’t replicate it right now. Will need to see if it happens again
