Just in case anyone is using their account here to post to off-instance communities: those posts and comments seem to have a very high failure rate. There is a lot of activity and accounts on this instance. This is to raise awareness, not to pull people away or break up the lemmyverse. Quite the opposite really: there is a technical problem on this instance that might be preventing the lemmyverse from functioning as it should.
I find everything to show up pretty well. Have an example?
Yeah, take a look at my profile from the perspective of lemmy.world:
https://lemmy.world/u/liara
Then compare with the comment count compared to other instances:
https://lemmy.ca/u/liara@lemmy.world
https://lemm.ee/u/liara@lemmy.world
9 of my comments haven’t federated and are visible only to lemmy.world
https://lemmy.ml/u/liara@lemmy.world
22 comments made it to .ml but that’s still missing 6 comments
A post I sent 4 hours ago to lemmy.ml wasn’t showing up. After I edited it once with no changes, it showed up as posted 1 minute ago. It’s definitely an issue taking place. You can check to see if your posts are showing up at their destinations with the rainbow federation link button next to posts.
This post can be an example. Check: https://sh.itjust.works/post/446063 Do you see our conversation?
What is this supposed to prove? I see the same thing there and on lemmy.world
Just to be clear: if you load these two pages: https://sh.itjust.works/post/446063 and https://lemmy.world/post/609080 that are identical?
My bad, I’m an idiot lol
No, they’re not. I was only comparing that conversation because I thought it was a direct link to that comment chain, but in fact many other comments are missing.
No you’re not. It’s good to test. There might be differences in our client’s view due to other CDNs, proxies, caching etc. I’m just convinced it’s lemmy.world’s outbound networking. There might be other instances with other problems, and yes the upgrade could be a factor, but the lemmy.world issue is clearly and forwardly apparent.
I had no idea about this issue with LW; thanks for bringing it up.
Do you know if they eventually show up at some point? Or is the request blocked the first time around and there are no other attempts?
By the way, I’ve checked on kbin.social and it looks even more different there lol
A lemmy developer more familiar would have to answer that. It seems inconsistent at best. How consistent it was designed to be might be up for debate, but the average users understanding should AT LEAST match that…
I can see a LOT of failed network connections from lemmy.world to my instance and results of comparing posts. That’s the data I have. :)
