Have you looked at the default cache settings? How long does it take for new posts to appear? Do new comments take a long time to appear as well?
I just conducted a test where a new post and a new comment didn’t appear when I first viewed my blog in my test browsers but a refresh of the page caused the new post and new comment to appear just fine.
So, if you have a busy site, you will want to look at your database and browser cache settings, at the very least, to make sure the current settings will work for you and adjust them as necessary.

I am having same problem kited here http://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-post-can-not-be-seen-on-the-homepage?replies=17
Right now i have disabled browser cache to solve this problem, still some time it takes upto 3-4 min to show new post. before it was upto 30 mins for non logged in user
here is my setting
Page cache–> Enable
Page cache method—> basic
Minify- Enable
Minify mode- Basic
Minify cache method- disk
Database cache – not enabled
object cache- enable
object cache method- disk
Browser cache- not enable
Strange. I just tried a test with your settings above and my test post and test comment response both showed up immediately and after one browser refresh. With W3 Total Cache disabled, the fact it takes 3-4 minutes for new posts to show tells me there’s another bottleneck in your WordPress environment.
I presume you’ve tested your blog with no plugins enabled and then with only W3 Total Cache enabled? Also, have you tried the suggestions by Frederick Townes in the thread you reference above?
Peace…
