yes, it’s working on catching up now.

It’s working through the backlog now. Another obscure bug in an incoming message that stopped message processing.

Which lemmy instance were you not seeing it on? One of the challenges with all fediverse applications (mbin, lemmy, mastodon, etc) is that posts and comments don’t federate with other instances unless someone on the other instance follows the person or the magazine.

I do not believe existing posts and comments will federate to a different instance after someone on that instance subscribes to the magazine. Only new posts and comments will.

Thank you for asking. It’s on our about page here: https://fedia.io/about

That GitHub tracker is for problems with mbin code, not with instances running Mbin software. The problem that Fedia experienced is very likely caused by a bug of some sort in mbin (or something that Mbin is depending on), but we don’t know for sure what it is yet. Once I’m unemployed in a week, I hope to have more time to debug issues like this and get them resolved.

The cause is unclear to me, but the processes that manage incoming and outgoing federation were “stuck” until I manually intervened. It’s running now. I’m adding to my to-do list for after my job ends in 10 days to implement some sort of detection and hopefully automated restart for when this happens again.

I’ll open the back up. An issue with mbin is that there’s no way to moderate new accounts, and so I have been battling massive amounts of spam, and the moderation interface for mbin is not super efficient, so it creates a LOT of work.

To be clear, I have used a lot of Hetzner servers and I’ve only had issues with this particular model of bare metal server.

I did find a problem in the server, which I fixed. I am hopeful for no more problems.

lemmy.froztbyte.dev is/was sending malformed messages that caused this the queue runners to crap out. The others were for persistent harassment of one of our trans members.

I was mistaken - lemmynsfw isn’t bblocked. There are only 3 blocked: lemmy.one, lemmy.today, lemmy.froztbyte.dev. Are you proposing that lemmy.ml, lemmygrad, and hexbear get the block?

ok - I was able to find and fix the problem. it should work now.

Ok, I checked and creating new oauth clients is not restricted to administrators. I am trying to find a way to run interstellar so I can test and figure out what is wrong.

Is there a port of interstellar to Linux or Windows? Unfortunately I don’t have any android devices to test with.

Edit: never mind. I found them

It’s because I blocked lemmynsfw after it was reported for the 746272635th time.

I’ll check

Hi all. I am looking into why this is happening.

I am not - I have tried to help, and have been helped by the developers though

Hello. It is not. I think it is the largest. I am not sure there is an official instance for mbin the way there is for kbin or mastodon, etc

thanks. I think I’ve gotten rid of all the spam accounts, posts, and replies from the recent issue, but there may be more I am not finding.
