I just noticed when I go to hexbear communities on lemmy.sdf.org that most of the posts are missing. Is this some federation decision I missed or a technical issue?
Solved! I’m an idiot. I had modified my lemmy settings and I somehow changed “Languages” to remove English.
Apparently Hexbear is still federated with your instance. Might be a technical issue, I don’t know.
Thanks I didn’t know I could check federation there. Hexbear.net is now 502ing for me so maybe a tech issue on their side.
Not sure. I can see this post, obviously. I forwarded this post to the admins though.
probably a federation issue
I have the same problem with kbin.social magazines (well, m/mma which is the only one I care about)
tried asking on both platforms and didn’t get much traction
federation is weird. lemmy doesn’t sync all posts when you federate, it only fetches communities when someone specifically searches for them and even then it only grabs the last 20 posts when it does that. i think there are bots to automate syncing comms/maybe post backlogs too, some maybe even usable as an end user
Oh and I’m pretty sure they were there last week
if they were visible from lemmy.sdf.org before that means they made it into the local database over there so they should only disappear if deleted
