Hey everyone. Currently the instance is being affected by a bug that prevents outbound federation. This seems to have started when the instance upgraded to 0.18.5
Im pinning this post in the instance while it is affected by the bug so everyone is aware as this affects everyone in the instance
Theres an open issue on the lemmy github repository and we are attempting to track down why this is happening and fix it
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4039
What the bug means is essentially
- We still get all posts and comments around the fediverse like normal (so youll see posts made in other communities populate the feeds like normal)
- Posts and comments made by users in programming.dev are not visible outside programming.dev
Hopefully itll be resolved soon. If anyones able to get some info that would be helpful towards resolving the bug throw it here or in the github issue
Bro me too LMAO. I’ve posted a few thoughtful, well thought out comments to bring some perspective to a conversation… No replies, no comments, nothing. I was beginning to think Lemmy was dead
Isn’t it weird how much those replies or votes matter? It feels good to know that you aren’t shouting into the abyss!
The nice thing in Lemmy is that even when the posts have a lot of comments, you get good engagement. And I haven’t come across many of the bad attitudes from reddit
