Comments not appearing in the original instance (lemmy.ml)

Probably I'm missing something but I want to make sure this is not a bug and at least understand the Lemmy behavior.

Turns out that I posted a comment with images in a post from Lemmy.world and for some reason I opened the original post in the Lemmy.world instance and I didn't see my post there.

I thought that it might be a problem of the federation that takes time to retrieve new comments or posts, so I waited for a few hours and my comment is not there yet.

I repeated the same test but sending a comment without images (in case the images could be the problem) and it's happening the same.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance.

Federation delay from lemmy.ml to lemmy.world:

https://grafana.lem.rocks/d/cdfzs0dwal3pca/federation-health-time-behind?orgId=1&var-instance=lemmy.ml&var-remote_software=lemmy&from=now-30d&to=now&var-remote_instance=lemmy.world&timezone=browser

(It's been a pattern of spiking up to almost 2 days before recovering).

It's a LW problem (that they are aware of), and it's unrelated to whether a comment has images or not.
