Why does lemvotes.org only work on some posts/comments? (lemmy.world)

The question is basically the title.

It's very hit-and-miss. But mostly miss. That picture of a cat hiding under wrapping paper taunts me.

It doesn't seem to be related to what instance the content is on. But I haven't been able to find any pattern.

Is there an alternative (for non-instance-admins) that works more reliably?

Huh. Yeah I can't see lemvotes results for any of your posts anywhere. I wonder if .world has defederated. You said you got results for one of them? Are you using the linked marked with the fediverse symbol?

The other one will give lemvotes the instance you are currently on which will only show results if the instance you're browsing from federates to lemvotes.

The fediverse link will give lemvotes the post from the instance the author posted from, which it needs to work consistently

Huh! After reviewing, I think I must have mistaken something because my last two posts are not in the same community. (I also switched computers between my last comment two up and this one.)

And now, if I pick a bunch of my posts in the same community, I'm consistently seeing that those apparently don't work on Lemvotes. (Or at least I haven't found a counterexample yet.)

But the OP for this thread (to this community which is on Lemmy.world) works fine (for me, at least) on Lemvotes while my second-most-recent post (also to a community on Lemmy.world) doesn't work on Lemvotes.

And, yeah, I'm using the fediverse symbol link for all these tests. Maybe Lemmy.world blocks some communities for federation but not others? That's about the only theory that makes sense to me off the top of my head so far.

That seems plausible. I wish I knew more about how it worked and could have given you better info
