SDF outgoing federation seems to be stuck (lemmy.sdf.org)

Neither of my posts from yesterday and today have made it out to their communities' home instance (lemmy.world), and neither has received any comments or votes. It seems like something to do with outgoing federation is stuck.

Edit to clarify:

The problem I'm seeing affects posts. I don't know if it affects comments.

It's possible that it only affects lemmy.world communities, but it definitely affects them even on other instances. Neither of these posts are showing up on any remote instance that I've seen:

6 days later, it's happening again:

This might explain why my posts aren't getting enough downvotes.

Or you're just not posting trash enough content.

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 10 months ago

There's no need to be rude.

[–] Alice@hilariouschaos.com 4 points 10 months ago

You lol

[–] xnx@slrpnk.net 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Slrpnk seems to be receiving your posts

[–] mox@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Looks like it received this one, but not the ones I mentioned that are in lemmy.world communities.

[–] mox@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Completely off-topic:

I'm surprised to learn from the comments here that people on other instances subscribe to this sdf-specific community. I have no idea why they would, but it somehow makes me happy.

[–] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Lemmies front page is not that big.

On the contrary, its too much stuff I'm not interested in, and/or actively disinterested in, and not enough of the rest. OTOH, I don't even remember the exact topic of this community or instance.

Seems techy and not full of absolute garbage, and that's more than enough for me.

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 2 points 10 months ago

Definitely not

(And it's usually the same people everywhere)

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Reading you.

[–] mox@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Thanks. So a post to this lemmy.sdf.org community reaches your instance, but my posts to lemmy.world communities do not.

Welcome. Have you been in dialogue with them about it?

[–] mox@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Welcome, yourself. ;)

No. I haven't made an SDF board account, since I'm already overloaded with online accounts. I'm not aware of another way to reach them.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hah! Thanks. Check the sidebar, iirc.

[–] mox@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

The sidebar shows only a moderator. I assume they can see this discussion already, but if you have reason to think they relay problem reports upstream when pinged, I suppose I could ping them.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

A try is the only thing that can beat a fail, I suppose?

[–] mox@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I'll take that to mean you have no particular reason to think that. As a general rule, I don't like to poke the mods about operational problems that they are likely already aware of. They're not sysadmins, after all, and having been in those shoes, I know extra demands for attention can get tiresome.

But if this persists for long, I might poke the mod. If other people start noticing it as well, perhaps they will bring it up, too.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What can any of us itt do?

[–] mox@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 10 months ago

The point of posting is to create a record of the failure, for reference when someone wants to find a pattern or potentially fix it.

Several of us in this thread have already collected relevant information that might help pin it down.

Several times in the past, I have seen SDF members who also have a board account relay problems reported here to the board.

As for you yourself, maybe nothing? That's fine. Feel free to ignore it.

Seeing this on a random dutch instance I joined when my favorite machinist reddits each chose it. No regerts

[–] mox@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 10 months ago

Thanks, but the posts in question are not showing up on your instance, either.

You can use this graph to have a look at the delay between LW and your instance

It doesn't solve this problem, but it could be useful some day. Bookmarked; thanks.
