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

    I know it’s a FOSS project with no guarantees and everything these people do is in their free time but I really wish stability and basic functionality was the first thing they focused on, otherwise everything else is in vain since it’s on top of an unstable foundation.

    You have that opinion, but then there are others that come along and ask for all kinds of polished features - and not even nicely. “Why don’t you just”.

    If you want these “basic features” then the best way to get them is to contribute.
