I’m working on a bug for a community on Lemmy.world and tested with my own account initially. This has marked my account as bot. On Lemmy.nz, I’ve unchecked that setting, and I’m no longer marked as bot on here.
However, when I view the post and my profile on lemmy.world, I’m still marked as bot? So it looks like profile settings like bot status may not be synced properly between instances?
See my profile on lemmy.world: https://lemmy.world/u/sylverstream@lemmy.nz And the post, in my comments it shows “bot” next to my username: https://lemmy.world/post/276715
And my profile on lemmy.nz: https://lemmy.nz/u/sylverstream The same post, and now I’m not marked as “bot”: https://lemmy.nz/post/89563
Yeah, can do a new account, just not very convenient. Guess I’ll wait until 0.18. Thanks.
Have you posted anything to try to trigger federation? If I were you I’d try replying to a post on lemmy.world and see if your post being federate triggers the user federation.
Otherwise I’m not sure what triggers it.
