So this morning I tried to reply to a post in the [email protected] community on this, my default instance. Waited about 5 minutes and the submit button was still rolling. I decided to go to my alt lemmy account on a low population instance to attempt to post my reply and within seconds it worked. When viewing [email protected] from any other instance I have lurked from, I do not see the reply, but I still see it posted from the smaller instance. Not sure where the disconnect is but both servers are federated with each other.
Thanks for any help/insight on the matter. Wondering if others are having a similar issue or if it is a known bug.
For science I tried reposting from this account again to that thread with no luck. https://lemmy.world/post/1099519
Oh hello you, small world. Just had a look at that post and on the .world side it’s showing as deleted by creator. The deletion hasn’t propagated to toast.ooo though for whatever reason. That’s probably the source of the issue, although I have to say these federation issues really seem to be ramping up again the last couple days so 🤞 it can be resolved soon!
Ah! It is odd. I did see a little red trash can by it from my lemmy.world account but didn’t realize that is what it meant. Thanks for the clarification. It is weird though, as I was still able to see it on other non-lemmy.world.instances. I guess everything is slow from the overload and the deletion didn’t quite make it over to the other instances yet. Thanks everyone for their input.
Learning is fun.
Yeah it was gone on the .world side for most, but still visible to us mods just with the icon by it. Pretty subtle icon, though!
Edits and deletions are definitely still very much “just try it and pray”, federation-wise.
Try setting the language of the comment. Sometimes “post” rolls indefinietely without it
It’s probably because of how overloaded Lemmy.world is. More people need to move off of it and on to smaller instances. If there was a more even distribution of instances that would also help with a more even spread of communities, and hopefully more specialised instances like star trek.website, mander.xyz and slrpnk.net
