Federation broke on my instance (self.lemmy_support)

submitted 1 year ago by dandroid to c/[email protected]

6 comments fedilink hide all child comments

So, I run my own instance (dandroid.app), and as of about 10 days ago, all outgoing federation stopped working. Incoming federation still seems to work fine. I'm not sure exactly what changed. It was around the time that I set up pihole on my network, but I have since shut down pihole and federation has not resumed. I have tried restarting all the services with docker-compose down and then up. I also tried restarting my server completely.

What debugging steps can I take to figure out where the failure is occuring?

I checked a few instances and they were all last updated on November 18th. I ran that query and updated the updated field to now for all rows, but they aren't continuing to update after that, and no traffic is coming through.

I believe anything prior to that timestamp will not federate. New stuff should.

It took a little while, but it eventually started working again! Thanks for the help.

No problem! I had the same issue and was losing my mind trying to fix it. It still doesn't update the timestamp like it should automatically so I've been doing it myself.

I might just write a script to do it if mine does the same. Hopefully this gets fixed in 0.19.0
