Specifically, I'm trying to post (an image) to boston@lemmy.ml from my account on kbin.social. The post shows up on kbin.social, but when I go to https://lemmy.ml/c/boston, it doesn't seem to be there. Is there something special I need to do to ensure it's viewable?

Might it have something to do with the type of content?
I noticed, looking in your profile that KBin refers to your boston content as a 'thread' while lemmy calls such things posts.
There are 'posts' in kbin, so maybe you need to make a new 'post' on kbin.
Just guessing

That's possible! I thought that could be the issue. I was a bit confused because it looks like "posts" are put in the "microblog" category on kbin which I thought loosely corresponds to Mastadon-style posts. But maybe I'm wrong...

I did make a microblog on that boston community, and it showed up on lemmy.
Based on the state of lemmy, I'm guessing the microblog->post issue is on the lemmy side of things.

Thanks for trying that! Inconsistencies like that are probably why comments don't sync correctly, right? For instance, on this thread (https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/10635/Today-at-23-00-GMT-there-will-be-a-30-minute-technical) there are 13 comments, whereas on the corresponding thread in Lemmy (https://lemmy.ml/post/1194271) only 3 comments show up.

I think the intermittence of kbin also affects the propagation of posts/comments. However it seems like we are getting an upgrade soon to handle so many new users.

Don't forget to buy Ernest a coffee so he can put some finances towards upgrading the server!
