Cross post from lemmy.ml - https://lemmy.ml/post/2640822

Been experimenting and reviewing why our community based on lemmy.world is super active across Lemmy & Mastodon is dead on lemmy.ml - not sure if it’s a lemmy.world issue, lemmy.ml issue, or lemmy in general issue so crossposting.

See the screenshots.

Basically, people posting to !alternativenation@lemmy.world from lemmy.world or other instances all seem to work well, even going to Mastodon with no issues.

But lemmy.ml doesn’t seem to be seeing many of the post and is slow to update things like pinned posts.

Nor does lemmy.ml posts to the community seem to be going to Mastodon.

Challenging to build a community on Lemmy when one of the big instances can’t see many of the posts making an active community of over 1500 users seem dead.

    How did you identify which IPs to block? I’ve had several members discuss.online acknowledge failures to sync with lemmy.world. A big reason why I’m posting this is to test that it works.

        FYI, these aren’t actually making it to lemmy.world:

        From what I can tell, it looks like discuss.online hasn’t federated properly for at least a week, probably longer.

          We’re aware. I’m making them test the messaging. We seem to be sending the message okay. Not sure why they’re not receiving it. Ruud is looking into it on his end.

          We agree that it started after the 0.18.3 upgrade.

            I just now came across a post saying the same thing, I was actually on my way to send it to you when I saw you responded:

            Looks like it’s going around, as you said. Thanks for putting in the work to make this nice for everyone.

              Thanks a lot! I love all the help from the community. Looks like it’s starting to sync again now.

                If I comment on this will it sync the whole chain back to lemmy.world? let’s see!
