I’ve been monitoring, checking whether my posts or comments appear on external instances, including mastodon, and it doesn’t seem to be happening.
See a prior post of mine where I provided some specific examples: https://lemmy.ml/post/1310621
But generally, it seems you could go through my profile and check any post/comment to an external community.
Obviously this is frustrating to me as a user.
But big picture here is whether this is a generally problem for lemmy.ml as a whole. Other instances seem to be federating just fine, but perhaps something has gone wrong with this server or there’s a bug that has been tripped here that might occur on other instances too.
Edit thanks for all the replies and confirmations of federation working!! Really! Polite and helpful, wonderful to see … hope I didn’t come off as whiny in this post.
I still think there are problems and maybe things getting lost.
Eg: a post on which I commented, viewed on lemmy.ml: https://lemmy.ml/post/1361008, and the posts original location on beehaw https://beehaw.org/post/639764. Mine is the oldest so sorting by old should show it, or in the case of beehaw, not. And just to clarify, lemmy.ml and beehaw still federate.
EDIT2 Did another test, commenting on an external post and it went through immediately. So it seems the issue is intermittent, as other comments have testified. Still might be a problem worth addressing.
Hello from beehaw
I thought beehaw defederated? Confused
They defederated from shitjustworks and Lemmy.world. They left .ml federated.
You’re showing up on my personal instance.
Things do sometimes take a bit to come across, and I tend to get a bunch of posts from a single instance come in at one. It does make a bit of a pain at times as I won’t see anything at all from an instance, then my front page fills up with nothing but posts from one community within an instance (that’s how I came across this thread).
I have noticed on other instances also that same thing happening I think its a delay in federation
I saw you from Aussie.world
I can see your post from lemmy.wtf :)
Because of the huge influx of new users (and bugs), federation will sometimes lag behind.
I’m seeing your post via kbin.social.
Actually it’s the top of my kbin.social right now!
Yep. Third post right now for me as well.
Kbinaught 4 reporting in
I see your post from kbin.social (which isn’t even a Lemmy instance)
Also on kbin.social, can confirm it’s visible
This thread has huge ham radio vibes and I love it.
lemmy.one reading you loud and clear.
Not specific to lemmy.ml, I have both a beehaw and kbin account and by looking at threads from both sides I’ve noticed that sometimes I don’t see replies to comments on kbin, it’s like not everything gets synced properly every time.
Yea, I suspect that this is closer to the mark. It’s not a universal lack of feeerstion, but a bug that turns up from time to time.
In my experience so far, it’s happening with beehaw and startrek.website.
Hi from the main (I think) kbin kbin.social
I’m reading your post from my account at feddit.de. So there’s that.
Jup, Same here
.ml definitely has a delay. I get your posts (instance’s) periodically flooding my feed when the sync occurs. At least your sync eventually happens. Multiple people in the comments won’t ever see my response. 😅
I do, hi from lemmy.world :)
Hi! .world is fine, thankfully. Good choice. :)
Also hi from kbin.social
As others have said, sometimes the federation can take a little while. This is software that’s still in its baby stage. It will get better. It can be frustrating in the mean time but it’s also super cool knowing that you’re seeing the birth of something great and getting to participate in growing the Fediverse 😊
I’m seeing this comment organically (I e. Not via your profile) fine on Lemmy.fmhy.ml.
