Try select * from instance where domain = 'popular.instance'; and see the last time it was updated via the updated column. I've been having to update that column with update instance set updated = now(); because once that timestamp becomes older than 3 days your instance assumes it's "dead".

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
