UPDATE: seems like this has been fixed with the update to 0.18.1 https://programming.dev/instances
I can see their posts so I know they aren’t actually banned
https://programming.dev/instances
looks like maybe they had their domain name set with the https:// in it and that was breaking stuff? has this been fixed in the Lemmy code yet? we shouldn’t have to manually ban invalid domain names
@ruffsl@programming.dev yes, @Die4Ever@programming.dev is correct, we were having tons of retries bogging down the server due to attempts to connect to the https://midwest.social domain. I think it should be fixed in the 0.18.1 update, which I hope to roll out in a few hours.
