Yeah, same here. Just seemed to be worse since the recent block list and thought maybe related, but appears to be just timing.

Lemmy isn’t even at a point 2 minor version yet so it will be awhile before it is stable and these kind of kinks worked out, but this kind of thing is going to somewhat the norm I think, by design.

Beehaw defederated Lemmy.world, and they are both have large communities. Although we federate with them both, depending on who/where it was posted the source of truth may result in not always getting consistent updates from both.

I believe the reality in federated space is you will always want to have an account on all the more active instances, using one local as your primary and monitoring things you want to follow on multiple. Luckily the official app makes it pretty easy to do, and maybe there is another app, or one in the works, that will do a client side merge across accounts.

I think that part is still up to the instance to announce. In the case here at lemmy.ca the admin has made a call to block those on a list another admin has made of problematic instances (seem to be primarily instances that have seen a recent, unexplained spike). Note this is not the issue with Lemmy.world which is not blocked, the issue with them just seems to be either overloaded or general issues with Lemmy or .world right now.

Difference in signup policy creating moderation overhead the reason for the high profile case:

I believe .world has, though it still shows up as linked: https://lemmy.ca/instances

However there is another thread here about .world federation issues. I tested it and .world isn’t syncing here.

@smorks does the configuration or tool you are using for this reflect in the linked/blocked page or is it blocked on another level when this +10,000 user block kicks in?

*edit: tested from .ml which has more than 10,000 users and worked. However if it is by “active” user, .ml, behaw below 10,000 where .world is above.

Oh sweet. That is way easier than what I just did. Updated my comment on not knowing.

Yup, that’s the issue. Thanks!

Err. Actually didn’t read column headers. It says linked, so maybe a version issue / some other bug.

Definitely not working from .world as I posted from an account there on this thread and it hasn’t shown up. I haven’t experienced this with any other instance yet, just .world

There is a sailing community I engage with that is straight Lemmy.ca to Lemmy.world. Seems I get some federation but not all, so probably not a defed issue.

Lemmy.world appears to be running out of date version of Lemmy (boo lemmy.world)

Our admin might just be too on top of things for them to keep up.

*edit: or maybe it is defed https://lemmy.ca/post/919062.

*edit 2: Seems to be, I just tested on this thread from a .world account.

*edit 3: not defed, just .world probably being hammered along with other Lemmy growing pains.

What I have done is set up a lemmy.world account and follow posts I engaged with there if I care to keep up.

@smorks is there a chance we defederated lemmy.world?

I’ve found this in particular with lemmy.world with posts made on lemmy.ml communities, which seems to be the case in your example as well (the community you posted to is ThinkPad@lemmy.ml).

Lemmy.world has been defederated in at least one high profile case. I have a suspicion .ml may have defederated as well without announcing (unless maybe we have defederated them here @lemmy.ca? Still working out how source of truth works myself). edit: checked, both still list .world as linked

If an instance defederates another it means they will not accept engagement from that instance. However, if that instance does not reciprocate the defederation they still get a copy, and it is isolated to their instance. Ie. Comments/votes only appear on that instance and the instances they federate with.

Not entirely sure though as I would think that means lemmy.world would still receive edit/deletion broadcasts which it doesn’t from my experience. So maybe just a bug.

Basically, at least from my experiments, Lemmy.world gets the original post / comment, and all engagement on the lemmy.world instance stays isolated there (lemmy.world has a large user base therefore often more engagement).

This is going to be an ongoing problem for folks because there really isn’t a way to see who (instance) is talking to who (instance) (edit: incorrect; a user pointed out a place to check, but it isn’t always going to be clear unless you constantly check). Without a platform wide policy of mutual, reciprocal defederation, there is going to be a lot of fractured discussion users will never be notified of.

*edit: may not be an issue with defed. See comment below.

Unfortunately your user is not currently portable. You may also find that you end up with multiple accounts due to certain aspects of federation and a desire to engage elsewhere.

Moving entirely you could post a reference to the new one in your profile. That’s about it at the moment.

Yeah, discovery is super frustrating right now. Would love to see a hide feature for both posts and categories. Find a lot of great categories from browsing new, but the majority I would be happy to never see again.

Lemmy is still in very early development and there seems to be a lot of issue with signup (which sucks as most people will just give up). I’ve had it work sometimes in one browser, then not other times but work in another. Doesn’t seem to be browser or platform specific, just timing or change in what values are being used. It doesn’t return any user feedback to the user on validation or other error so all problems look the same at the moment.
