I’ve been monitoring, checking whether my posts or comments appear on external instances, including mastodon, and it doesn’t seem to be happening.
See a prior post of mine where I provided some specific examples: https://lemmy.ml/post/1310621
But generally, it seems you could go through my profile and check any post/comment to an external community.
Obviously this is frustrating to me as a user.
But big picture here is whether this is a generally problem for lemmy.ml as a whole. Other instances seem to be federating just fine, but perhaps something has gone wrong with this server or there’s a bug that has been tripped here that might occur on other instances too.
Edit thanks for all the replies and confirmations of federation working!! Really! Polite and helpful, wonderful to see … hope I didn’t come off as whiny in this post.
I still think there are problems and maybe things getting lost.
Eg: a post on which I commented, viewed on lemmy.ml: https://lemmy.ml/post/1361008, and the posts original location on beehaw https://beehaw.org/post/639764. Mine is the oldest so sorting by old should show it, or in the case of beehaw, not. And just to clarify, lemmy.ml and beehaw still federate.
EDIT2 Did another test, commenting on an external post and it went through immediately. So it seems the issue is intermittent, as other comments have testified. Still might be a problem worth addressing.
This thread has huge ham radio vibes and I love it.
I’m reading your post from my account at feddit.de. So there’s that.
Jup, Same here
You’re showing up on my personal instance.
Things do sometimes take a bit to come across, and I tend to get a bunch of posts from a single instance come in at one. It does make a bit of a pain at times as I won’t see anything at all from an instance, then my front page fills up with nothing but posts from one community within an instance (that’s how I came across this thread).
I’m seeing this comment organically (I e. Not via your profile) fine on Lemmy.fmhy.ml.
lemmy.one reading you loud and clear.
I have noticed on other instances also that same thing happening I think its a delay in federation
Hello from beehaw
I thought beehaw defederated? Confused
They defederated from shitjustworks and Lemmy.world. They left .ml federated.
So I can see them and they can see me on kbin?
Beehaw user confirming yes
I can see your post from my instance, so I think they are fine…
Weird stuff is happening with Federation. I was in a huge discussion on a post with over 500 comments, as a kbin user talking primarily to Lemmy users. Since I’m still evaluating Lemmy vs kbin, I decided to go see what they thread looked like from a Lemmy users perspective since it was fairly large. I happen to already have an account on the instance this big conversation was happening on. I cannot find it. I sorted by Hot, Active, even sorted by Comments since it had so many. It’s simply not there. And yet, I can see it via kbin, and plenty of Lemmy people can see it because we all commented on it all day yesterday. But the instance that actually hosts the community it all happened on doesn’t show the post at all.
Strange things are afoot in the Fediverse.
I can see your post from lemmy.wtf :)
Because of the huge influx of new users (and bugs), federation will sometimes lag behind.
I saw you from Aussie.world
I see your post from kbin.social (which isn’t even a Lemmy instance)
I can see your post, and comment as you can see. I’m not sure of the reason for the issues you’re seeing though.
I can see this post just fine.
