As per this post, it seems Lemmy World is having federation issues. I’ve had some of my posts and comments get suspiciously low response, so I’ve looked into it and it turns out that many of them aren’t showing on other instances.
Here’s an example: my Payday 3 post is only visible on Lemmy.world:
Meanwhile, in other instances, it doesn’t show up at all:
It’s not clear if this issue is exclusive to this instance but I thought I’d give people a heads up. I reposted and now it showed up in other instances. If you feel like you’re getting no response from other communities, check on another instance if your content is visible, otherwise repost it.
To add some specificity to this:
I’ve been unable to post to !arduino@lemmy.ca or !avr@lemmy.ca successfully. And the comments seem to be failing to load at all.
Here’s to hoping its the .18.x vs .17 issue. But I figured I need to post an official report of my problems somewhere, and this topic seems the most applicable location.
I’ve also been “Subscription pending” on !avr@lemmy.ca for… at least 20 minutes now. Suspiciously long times to get that resolved.
5 hours later, I’m still “Subscription pending”. I dunno if this is related to the issues, but I figure I should document the problem here.
Almost a day later, “Subscription pending”. I’m guessing its this slow-federation issue that probably will be fixed with .18 upgrade (or maybe lemmy.ca needs to increase its federation workers?)
