I’ve noticed that for one instance in particular (in my experience), feddit.uk, I am regularly seeing posts not federate properly. The most recent example I have found of this is c/britishproblems
If you compare:
https://programming.dev/c/britishproblems@feddit.uk
with
https://feddit.uk/c/britishproblems
You will see there are two posts on the home instance that have not federated to programming.dev, despite both being a month old.
Is there a technical reason that posts so old would not have federated in all this time?
Edit: I seem to be incorrect. The posts are not missing. The instances just show them in a different order (despite both being sorted by ‘Active’). I am an idiot.
I’ll leave this up as there may be some interesting discussion on how federation does / does not work.
You didn’t make this post for laughs, but [Update: I am wrong] got one from me.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !britishproblems@feddit.uk
Good bot. But in this case, the linking is appropriate.
I think the active and hot query only runs like once or twice a week so they don’t get updated that often
