Lemmy Support

This thread has huge ham radio vibes and I love it.

I'm reading your post from my account at feddit.de. So there's that.

I'm on lemmy.world and see your post just fine, with all its comments.

I also went directly to lemmy.ml to check and I don't see differences from what I see on lemmy.world, maybe it's just a delay on federation? Accessing lemmy.ml sometimes give a bad gateway error.

I have noticed on other instances also that same thing happening I think its a delay in federation

I'm seeing this comment organically (I e. Not via your profile) fine on Lemmy.fmhy.ml.

Hello from beehaw

I'm seeing your post via kbin.social.

Programming.dev seeing you just fine

I can see this post just fine.

Weird stuff is happening with Federation. I was in a huge discussion on a post with over 500 comments, as a kbin user talking primarily to Lemmy users. Since I'm still evaluating Lemmy vs kbin, I decided to go see what they thread looked like from a Lemmy users perspective since it was fairly large. I happen to already have an account on the instance this big conversation was happening on. I cannot find it. I sorted by Hot, Active, even sorted by Comments since it had so many. It's simply not there. And yet, I can see it via kbin, and plenty of Lemmy people can see it because we all commented on it all day yesterday. But the instance that actually hosts the community it all happened on doesn't show the post at all.

Strange things are afoot in the Fediverse.

Just seen your post from feddit.uk :) I do agree though, I have an account on feddit and on lemmy.world and when I view the same communities from both accounts I see a totally different number of comments or no comments at all / some posts don't show up / whatever. There's definitely some issues going on here and there.

lemmy.one reading you loud and clear.

I can see your post from lemmy.wtf :)

Because of the huge influx of new users (and bugs), federation will sometimes lag behind.

I see your post from kbin.social (which isn't even a Lemmy instance)

You're showing up on my personal instance.

Things do sometimes take a bit to come across, and I tend to get a bunch of posts from a single instance come in at one. It does make a bit of a pain at times as I won't see anything at all from an instance, then my front page fills up with nothing but posts from one community within an instance (that's how I came across this thread).

hello from kbin

Hi from the main (I think) kbin kbin.social

I noticed this yesterday as well. Made a post from lemmy.ca to lemmy.world I saw on lemmy.ca my post had about 100 upvotes and a bunch of comments.

Hopped into kbin because everyone kept raving about it, so my post with like 160 upvotes and way more comments.

Kept hopping back and forth between instances trying to reply to comments that would only appear on Kbin.

So I created an account on Kbin with the same username so I could reply to comments that didn't appear on lemmy.ca.

Kbin.social is definitely the most polished instance right now.

Something we will need to adapt to is potential latency between posting something on one instance and it propagating across other instances.

Usenet had similar issues back in the day, where it took some time for the nntp servers to send batches of posts to each other, then pass them along to the next server.

I can see your post from my instance, so I think they are fine...

i see you on kbin.

Not specific to lemmy.ml, I have both a beehaw and kbin account and by looking at threads from both sides I've noticed that sometimes I don't see replies to comments on kbin, it's like not everything gets synced properly every time.

I saw you from Aussie.world

So it seems the issue is intermittent, as other comments have testified. Still might be a problem worth addressing.

But it is a real issue. The regular 'nginx 500' errors on lemmy.ml and other instances are a problem that is impacting federaton, not just webapp clients.

See open bug reports: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3203 and https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3101

I can see your post, and comment as you can see. I'm not sure of the reason for the issues you're seeing though.

From all the comments, it proves otherwise. If you are on Mastodon try to search your lemmy @username@server there.

I can see this from dormi.zone

You're being seen, boi

I can't see this, commenting from lemmy.world

lemmy.ml has had some weird issues in the past from the strain of all the new users. perhaps they are still happening intermittently?
