I admire @[email protected] for configuring and maintaining the instance, one can only imagine how much work goes into it—thank you mate for giving us an instance catered to our interests.

Has anyone else had any issues getting engagement or replies to their posts elsewhere on the fediverse when posting from this instance’s account?

    I plan on taking tonight and this weekend to update us to 0.19.3. I just upgraded us to 0.19.1 which fixes a bug with federating with newer instances. Hope this helps. The upcoming updates may take the site down for a few hours as it has major database and image hosting changes.

    Let me know if it seems better after the 0.19.1 update.

        I can try the newest update soon, but it only updates how pictrs (the photo hosting service we use) stores photos in the database. If we’re having issues now, my first thought would be backed up federation or high usage.

        Can you give me an example?

          All my most recent comments have no engagement, which is unusual. I don’t know enough about the backend but it seemed like after the update there was a burst of activity on posts/comments up to about 8 days old, and now nothing again.

          I appreciate you mate, thank you.

              Until a moment ago, I had no engagements for very recent comments I had posted to other instances. Most of my comment activity is on other instances via this instance. It might just be a slow fediverse day 🤷🏼‍♂️. But my most recent activity is what I mean.

              I’ll give it a few more days; you’ve done a ton already.
