I have sort of given up in fixing the problem, and will instead work on auto-detecting and auto-recovering when the problem happens.
The problems go on and it seems it not just that federation fully stops from time to time.
The /all has current content but for example [email protected] didn’t receive updates in days.
I am investigating…
Hm, yeah. Made a thread in another instance and it does not show up there if I visit their own page.
At the moment, there isn’t anything going on that would cause that. Can you tell me which other instance/which thread so i can try to troubleshoot?
I’ve literally just deleted it a couple minutes ago. lol https://fedia.io/m/[email protected]/t/1328608/at-BonesOfTheMoon-at-lemmy-world-in-at-insanepeoplefacebook-at-lemmy-world-quietly-removes-thread-that-didn-t-fit-into
thanks. I think the name of the instance is the most important part - I can test of federation with them to see what went wrong.
I can repost it. I just didn’t want to end up with it federating when it was a day or two old already.
Okay, I had to actually go to the instance as the modlog here did not show anything, but apparently my post was removed… But only on their side? It did not show “removed by moderator” on my end:
reason: Threativore automatic post removal: image spam
Not sure how that works or why. I used an external imgur album link, an additional imgur image link in the body, along with some various thread & modlog links.
At least I now also see the pure extend of the mod abuse and terrorist simping on Lemmy as I filtered through my account.
The modlog function in lemmy/mbin can be a bit confusing. I don’t think the moderation actions of one instance propagate to the modlog of another instance. I think that is only really problematic in cases where the moderation action was taken on the home instance of a magazine/community.
I’ve seen issues with that too, where it does not show a lot of moderator actions on mbin but on the actual community modlog of the Lemmy instance. In this case it seems to be some sort of instance wide automod / spam protection though, but I don’t know what exactly triggered it.
Seems like an interesting thread
Does not look like I can repost it, at least not without understanding the auto removal. https://fedia.io/m/fedia/t/1311244/After-a-much-needed-break-for-a-few-days-fedia-io/comment/7812247#entry-comment-7812247
