So I'm noticing that I don't seem to get any engagement when I'm posting replies to posts generated on other instances. Just now I thought I'd go directly to a thread on lemmy.world to see if my comment was showing there but it isn't. Other non lemmy.world users are showing up.
Does anybody else notice this or is it just me?
Example: https://lemmy.sdf.org/comment/6595136 My comment
https://sh.itjust.works/comment/6752604 Who I replied to
https://lemmy.world/comment/6161325 Where the thread originally was posted
Edit: the issue appears to have resolved
I think our instance was just upgraded, it might be worth testing if we fixed
19.1 should fix it indeed
Idk... I made a comment here https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/9558280
but it's not showing on the native instance https://lemmy.world/post/9866880
Interestingly, my test messages to my account on sh.itjust.works from 6 days ago have successfully federated today. And also a test message I sent today.
I can't see the linked comment elsewhere, but I can see this one on sh.itjust.works and lemmy.dbzer0.com, though not lemmy.world (and also not lemmy.ml).
Hmmm...
Maybe, just maybe, it tried to retroactively federate everything that didn't successfully federate, and the amount of posts, comments, messages and votes somehow broke things. But that's just unlikely speculation.
Edit: Also, the instance was upgraded to 0.19.1-rc.2 instead of official 0.19.1 stable release, which is newer. I guess that was an accident.
I think things are catching up, im getting replies from other instances now
The post made it, the problem appears to be resolved.
