Are we still having trouble? A thread I posted 45 minutes ago hasn't shown up on the instance I posted it to yet. The "Open original URL" menu on the post goes to the Fedia page instead of LemmyWorld. It seems like a comment I posted 2 hours ago is also not appearing on the original instance, either.
@jerry How long should a message take to propagate? I made a few posts over the last couple of days and they seem to have propagated correctly, but I just made a post on a thread from mander.xyz about 30 minutes ago and it hasn't yet appeared on the host instance.
Edit: Never mind, I was just too impatient. They're there now.
I am not 100% sure. Fedia.io is running on a beast of a server, and so long as it’s working correctly, it should be able to deliver it instantly. But that doesn’t mean that the receiving servers are able to consume and render them that fast.
Not entirely. It looks like the rabbit issue was only impacting one of the queues (“deliver”), though I would have expected that to impact things like microblog too. All I can say with clarity is that the instance was operating in a very unhealthy state.
The queue appears like it’ll take several hours to flush, but it’s working.
OK, I'm glad it's not just me. A few days ago, it took about 6 hours to reach Lemmy instances, and a post I made yesterday didn't federate at all.. I was able to get my most recent post to appear on kbin.melroy.org by searching for its fedia.io URL there. I don't think Lemmy has a similar mechanism, though.
Do you know whether there are any users on kbin.melroy.org that subscribe to your magazine? If not, that will explain why your post did not show up until you searched for it.
I've been noticing a problem too. I've posted on threads from lemmy.world, lemmy.zip, and lemmy.ml and when I check the threads on the home sites my posts do not appear.
just tried to view one of your recent posts from microfedi via sharkey - impossible > otoh, viewing threads from fedia.io posted to lemmy which don't appear at lemmy instances seems to be possible when i use sharkey (both link and thread type)
I'll paste you the Fedia and original links to the last comments I've made that don't seem to be federating. The comments are visible at the fedia, but not at the foreign instance. I can see by reviewing these that it appears to be all magazines and all foreign instances, because these are all the comments I've made in the last day or so.
But this one isn't. It is quite recent, and I don't know the intervals for shunting comments off to other instances, so it could be that. Edit ~20 minutes later: This one is also federated.
Outbound federation was indeed broken. I fixed it, but there was a huge backlog the server had to work through, which took about 12 hours to complete. I just checked and everything appears to be working ok. I am going to create some automation that will detect and alert on this (or other issues) happening in the future.
Excellent! What I saw this morning was that comment federation seemed to be taking between 15 and 20 minutes. As before, I don't know what your intervals are, but I figure you could use that data point to verify/validate as necessary.
there isn't an inteval per se - I don't yet know why it's not immediate. It's possible that the delay is on the receiving side - the server that fedia.io is quite substantial and unless there is some sort of bug, the processing should happen immediately.
It's a known issue - I have been working with @melroy for a while now to resolve. I think we now understand what is happening under the hood, but not yet why it is happening.
wow.. then when I posted the above thread, it responded with “This page isn’t working” and looked like an error msg that was generated by the browser itself. So I reposted. Same thing. Then I discovered that it posted despite the error. So then I deleted the dupe.
I know it's not ideal, but I fully understand the whole situation. Let's focus on making Mbin better for the existing users who are now experiencing CSRF or log-out problems. Hopefully after that, we can focus on improving anti-spam (since hcaptcha is not preventing any spam accounts for some unknown reason).
Maybe even considering additional an optional question? With only 1 correct answer. Or maybe even enforce 2FA.. I dunno.. But spam is getting out of control. Coincidence due to the rise of LLMs? Who knows. But anti-spam like hCaptcha, even set to "difficult" doesn't seem to cut it anymore...
What works for me on both mastodon and Lemmy is a free text question: why do you want to join?
The user enters whatever they like and it goes into a moderation queue. Both lemmy and mastodon send me an email when a new account is ready to review.
I read the response and choose to whether to approve their account. At the moment, spammers are really bad at answering the “why do you want to join” questions.
The main thing I experience since the CDN update is that voting often ends up in an error page, similar to how adding comments sometimes directs you to a secondary page (luckily with the comment intact). Going back and trying to vote again may or may not work.
I did not have that 3 weeks ago though, and they're not 500s - at least they're not displayed as that. I get pages like this one: https://fedia.io/ecv/7319083/-1
