Got any ideas to make the instance better? Any issue with federating from your home instance? Post it here.

PSA: Federation does not work correctly with some instances (self.metadiscussions)

Currently known problematic:

  • lemmy.ml
  • beehaw.org

I'll look into possible causes for the problem, as of right now the most likely culprit is the excessive server load on these two instances preventing the federation actions from completing.

Hi I'm having issues federating lemmy.fmhy.ml to the aobprepub community (keep on getting not found). By any chance can you check if therer were any attempts from lemmy.fmhy.ml to federate?

Edit:

Just to make sure is this the correct way to federate? https://i.imgur.com/uSPPAJG.png

I also tried https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/aobprepub@bookwormstory.social

Regarding federation, searching for [!aobprepub@bookwormstory.social](/c/aobprepub@bookwormstory.social) should work but currently doesn't (reliably), please use the full url instead (in this case https://bookwormstory.social/c/aobprepub), federation might take some time so give it up to a minute before assuming it failed.

If that doesn't work please refer to my other comment

Federation with lemmy.fmhy.ml worked in the past and the only thing that changed in between was me updating lemmy. I'll see if I missed a step while upgrading and report back (1-2h)

Edit: don't seem to have missed anything, you could either wait for the admin of your instance to update lemmy or ask them to do so. It would likely resolve the issue as federation with 0.17.4 instances of lemmy still works and lemmy.fmhy.ml is on version 0.17.3

Got it working (it took 3-5 hrs) for federation to work but now it just works :)
