I mod a community here, and for the last three days posts made to that community have not been showing up outside of this instance. Specifically, I have an account on Lemmy World, and I can’t see any recent posts from the community I mod on that account.

Also, I follow several communities from other instances including lemmy.world and lemmy.ml and none of the content for those communities have updated here in the last three days, though when I check them from accounts I have with other instances, they all show up fine.

I have checked all of this on my mobile browser, my desktop browser, and Jerboa.

Does anyone know what’s going on? Does this have anything to do with the steps @TheDude@sh.itjust.works has been taking to combat bots? This is really problematic, it’s like we’ve been shadow defederated.

Edit: Seriously, why would someone downvote this post?

Edit 2: I’m not sure if this is related or not, but for the first time, I’m not able to respond to a Kbin users comment. That happened in this post.

I have experienced similar problems which I have posted about here earlier. Nothing has changed with that either. Still no comments showing up and subscription pending still being shown, as is on most other communities from outside instances which I have tried subscribing to. Although comments does show up on those, but I have no idea if it is showing all comments.

It seems very clear that while theoretically a great idea, the whole federation concept just doesn’t work very well in practice yet.

I find it odd that you guys are still having issues. Lemmy is working fine for me, and I’m subscribed to a bunch of communities on lemmy.ml and lemmy.world

It is indeed very odd. Nevertheless that is unfortunately what is happening.

I’m having the same issue with my community. Things haven’t been syncing over for the past two days. Its a huge problem because the vast majority of activity is on lemmy.world or lemmy.ml, and we’re effectively defederated from both at this point.

We aren’t defederated from either, and I have no trouble seeing content from either of those instances.

The two instances were having trouble this week due to an influx of users and activity, plus being on an older version of Lemmy. But in the past couple of days that should have been resolved

Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to be resolved. Hoping that it will be, though. I enjoy the community and would like to keep my itjustworks account.

This issue is what made me create a lemmy.world account last night. Now I’m seeing posts and finding communities with no problems. There’s definitely something broken with this instance.

They updated to a release candidate for better cpu performance, maybe the performance is a result of not doing everything 😂

I was pretty surprised to see them use a release candidate for a production instance. But, what do I know

Same issue here. I ended up creating an account on lemmy.world to see if any of my posts/comments are showing up there.

None have.
