When I try to browse it from lemmygrad, the newest post is a 10 month old post. But when I view on hexbear, it has recent posts. Is this a bug or intentional?

EDIT: If this is the wrong place to ask, could someone please direct me to the appropriate place?

How did you find the comm? I'm unsure if federation works properly until the federated comm has been found twice through the search function. This is hearsay and I may have misunderstood. If it's right, I wouldn't know if it needs two people to search or if one person could search twice.

I will search for 'Hexflix streaming' (a post that we know exists) and filter the community to [email protected]. If you do the same, we might force it to sync. But this is very trial and error.

Edit: update: I tried it twice in my end to no effect. If you try it and it works, we know the answer. Although maybe it takes a while to get the instances to talk to each other. Also I just realised that I think the search thing is to get the comm to show in the 'all' feed. I notice there's an [email protected] so maybe that causes a conflict? Again, I'm just making poorly-educated guesses.

Nope. Tried unsubscribing and resubscribing as well, now that the site's back up. That didn't work either. Looking more and more like a bug.

Better than my guesses! I clicked the link from this post to get there. I'm pretty sure I subscribed to it then, but I just realised today that it wasn't updating when I was trying to find information about the blahaj.zone defederation. I'll try explicitly searching for it when the site is back up though. Thanks again!
