Is this a normal thing to happen? I enjoy looking back at the posts I’ve liked in the past, but have noticed that while posts from users on our instance last forever, federated posts vanish after two weeks. I asked the admin and they weren’t familiar with the issue, and I haven’t seen any documentation discussing it. Is this a common thing, or should I switch instances?
What instance are you on?
This behavior is if your admin configured your " Content cache retention period " to have ANY value. If this is configured, remote posts will delete after the specified amount of days.
If they are a newer server host, they may have configured this without fully understanding what this is. I did the same when I first started tbh, but if this isnt configured… hmm…
Depends if they self host or cloud host, maybe their host could be doing it? depends

mastodon.gamedev.place. Is there any way for a user to see that value?
