I found one post from 12 hours ago that describes the problem: https://lemmy.ml/post/2650814 - but that's all I've seen. Content is way down on lemmy.ml with nothing coming in from .world

EDIT: seems that lemmy.ml is getting some content delivered to .world, but .world communities seem islands on .ml that only have local new posts/comments.

I'll check the new way Lemmy detects dead servers, it's possible an outage caused lemmy.ml to think we're dead (we're not!) :-)

think we're dead (we're not!)

Speak for yourself.

Ohh sorry to hear that. RIP

He got better

Yiffit.net also had some problems with remote posts. Maybe worth checking if it the same problem.

Is there anyway you could also check fanaticus.social I am a mod on the Braves community there but I havent seen any new posts in days. If I go to the community via their instance, I show new posts.
Example: Via Lemmy.World the newest post is 4 days old: https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]?dataType=Post&page=1&sort=New Via Fanaticus.Social the newest post is 17 hours old: https://fanaticus.social/c/braves?dataType=Post&page=1&sort=New

I did notice they are on 0.18.2 where we are on 0.18.3. Is it as simple as that server needing to update?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

+1 to this. I've noticed that posts haven't been federating in [email protected] either for the past several days.

I wanted to piggy back off of your comment. Have you learned anything about what’s going on? I’m a mod over at https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] and it seems posts haven’t federated for the better part of 2 weeks now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've had no luck yet. My hope was it would be fixed in the next version of lemmy that was created a day or two ago. But that doesn't seem to have fixed things.
I'm considering just creating a 2nd account there until the issue is fixed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looks like they are getting addressed over there!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Nice find! Glad it's being worked out.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]?dataType=Post&page=1&sort=New, [email protected]

Posted about this in Lemmy world support and on lemmy.ml support with screenshots

https://lemmy.world/post/2424133

Is this a better spot to post issues like this?

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 year ago

I wonder if it is because of the various outages on both instance and the new "dead instance" detection, lemmy.ml has temporarily stopped receiving updates?

The federation code now includes a check for dead instances which is used when sending activities. This helps to reduce the amount of outgoing POST requests, and also reduce server load.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm on Lemmy.world and still seeing new posts from Lemmy.ml

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

example?

EDIT: Ok, I see a lemmy.ml created a post: https://lemmy.world/post/2463337
So far, I can't find any new content on lemmy.ml from .world

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Slightly tangential, but why is "one of the two major Lemmy instances" using a TLD under the authority of the government of frigging MALI, a semi-failed state that has nothing whatsoever to do with Lemmy or its mission?!

Come on internet, grow up and show some respect for internet architecture. TLDs are not just for jokes or decoration, they actually mean something.

It's because they were giving free domains for a long time. Then when they were recently being revoked, Dessalines paid for the domain to keep it (I'm guessing to avoid losing the current community+their m+l origins?)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

It's a Marxist lenninist server, hence the ML. The developers of lemmy are m-ls.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They stopped sending my instance (kbin) anything from 20:00 (utc) on the day they upgraded until around midnight the next morning (4 hours or so). Just stopped dead then resumed as if nothing happened.

I assumed they were slowly bringing federation back up and adding instances in batches. Maybe a related thing?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

On my lemmy.world account I see no content from lemmy.ml

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Not good. Hopefully they can get things figured out quickly.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I can see content from lemmy.one and lemmy.ml from communities I'm subscribed to.

LOL Read the room, bot.

lemmy.ml is now getting some lemmy.world content
