I don’t see my comments or DMs (wrote a DM to a second account) on any other instance, is there a problem with outgoing traffic?

    Can confirm - a comment I made to a lemmy.world community around an hour ago hasn’t shown up on that server yet.

    Edit to add: looks like this post correlates with when I was logged out of my session, and I see we’re on a newer version than before. Probably something not quite right from the upgrade?

      Acttually the issue with outbound federation not properly working is from before they upgraded to 0.19.0-rc4, but 0.19.X made it even worse, because it breaks various clients, e. g. Jerboa, due to some breaking API changes it introduces.

    @SDF Same here!. It loosk like lemmy.sdf.org does not do outgoing federation to certain instances. In my case it stopped federating posts, comments and votes to lemmy.wtf. I found the following issue on github which explains how outgoing federation will stop, when another instance is considered dead and not marked alive again due to a scheduled task not running:

        Imho the current situation is really bad, because

        1. It usually takes quite a while until you notice that you have been isolated
        2. It makes your account on lemmy.sdf.org pretty much useless, unless you are only posting to local communities.

    To me it looks like outbound federation is working again, e. g. posts I create on lemmy.sdf.org are now federated again to the (original) community on lemmy.wtf.

    @SDF Looks like it’s happening again. Outbound federation stopped. I have tested this from two other lemmy instances. I can still pull comments from lemmy.sdf.org via search, but neither posts/comments nor votes are actively pushed out.

    Which means that lemmy.sdf.org is in a bubble. Nobody hears us. Can you please look into this and/or state whether you are intending to maintain this lemmy instance or not.
