It seems that for at most the past 2 days the federation is partially broken.
Comments, posts, votes and DMs load from other instances, but not the other way around.
The entire instance went down for me for a while. Also sdf.org itself has been failing to resolve all day. Has anyone tried logging into the system and popping on com or irc and asking around? Someone there might have a better clue whatās going on because I think thereās more issues than just lemmy right now. Dont forget the server that runs this lemmy instance is literally a public access server and you have the ability to raise issues directly with staff there.
A lot of things seem to be broken right now, and /u/SDF has been away for months.
Blocks and subscriptions arenāt working https://lemmy.sdf.org/comment/5513086 And lemmy.sdf.org is no longer listed here https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances
I guess Iāll check back in a few months to see how things are going. But for now Iāll use other instances.
For anyone who chose this instance due to the low āblocked by & blocked instancesā (see github link above), futurology.today https://futurology.today/ has low blocks too, but no old UI https://old.lemmy.sdf.org.
Transfer Lemmy settings from one account to another https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim - took some time for the new account to add all the blocks.
Things are more broken because of a undocumented upgrade from Lemmy 0.19.0-rc.4 to 0.19.0-rc.5 that happened sometime these past days and its been leading to connection issues all around
Its also concerning there has been no communication regarding these server upgrades in the main thread, Lemmy 0.19 doesnāt seem to be anywhere close to stable to be pushed onto main, yet we keep upgrading (perhaps because a downgrade from 0.19 is not possible?)
You should login to the system and express your concerns! I do agree lack of communication from within the platform is frustrating. But the sdf does have a help desk and chat rooms where you can reach the people who maintain the system.
Is there any news on this?
Ooh thatās right. I just checked and itās true: I posted something in a thread hosted on lemmy.ml and it shows up here on SDF but not when I visit lemmy.ml directly.
Gee, and I thought I was going slightly crazy, seeing as though thereās never any reaction or vote on anything I post outside of SDF anymore.
Thanks for pointing this out!
