Federation issues with 0.19 - UPDATE

2y 5mon ago by midwest.social/u/seahorse in main@midwest.social

Noticing some federation issues with lemmy.ml for example. Investigating...

Update: supposedly, there is a fix for the 0.19 federation issues we're currently experiencing in a new RC image. I'll try upgrading later today.

Did we defederate threads?

Yes

Question: what does defederating from threads.net do for a Lemmy instance? I know it's all ActivityPub, but does Lemmy have any fundamental interoperability with Mastodon-like services like Threads?

Yes, you can access Mastodon from lemmy and vice-versa, but the formatting gets weird. Masto users act like lemmy munis, for example.

Neat. Looks like I have a little more research to do on how this whole thing works.

Sorry, I can't find the thread about the update so posting here as next best place: after the 0.19 update I have to relogin every time I restart my browser. I don't delete cookies or sessions on close, so this is not the expected behavior. It's only mildly inconvenient, not a huge deal but I thought I'd report it

@seahorse@midwest.social this seems to be fixed now, thanks

@seahorse@midwest.social, sorry, but it looks like midwest.social is still having federation issues. As of today...

...the pages aren't identical; the non-midwest.social page is missing https://midwest.social/post/6739296.I know federation isn't immediate but this is almost five hours later and I suspect that "mirroring" isn't going to happen (yet again).
