On the instance I’m using, my comments and posts have disappeared. It is ok?
I had a few helpful comments here that I saved, but it’s all gone.
Having got used to the stability in Mastodon I was surprised by such things in Lemmy as:
Unable to log into your account through the app after an update on the server.
Unable to log into your account through the app if your instance version is out of date.
Just because you’ve created a post or written a comment doesn’t mean other Lemmy users will see it.
I have to constantly check to see if my messages are visible on other instances.
You also need to have many sub-accounts on different instances in case some of the primary instances are unavailable.
We at SDF had some outgoing federation issues recently, and we weren’t the only ones. I.e., I’d post or comment something and check from any other instance, and it was like I never posted/commented at all. Fortunately, it seems to have gotten fixed over Christmas Eve.
Also, my original instance (vlemmy) literally deleted itself in July.
Man, what sort of psycho does a release on Xmas eve. I try and avoid doing at after 3pm haha
Yeah, I had an account there… it just went offline over night…
