Hi, first I want to thank you for this instance.
Compuverse.uk seemed to be down for me for multiple weeks, since somewhere at the beginning of October/end of September.
I was getting no server answers from a cloudflare page.
Now I randomly checked the instance, and it’s back up. Not sure from when.
Was there an issue with a cloudflare configuration or something else?
I am so pleased to see compuverse back.
But there seems to be federation issues. I don’t think we’ve been defederated but comments and votes aren’t federating properly?
I am investigating federation issues.
Do you have any exact examples which I could use as a starting point to investigate this please?
They would be greatly appreciated :)
Thanks,
Cameron
Hi
For example the Avelon community has a lower number of comments and votes than when I look at it from a different instance
This post https://lemmy.world/post/6717293 has a score of 72 when viewed with an account on lemmy.world but only 5 when viewed with an account on compuverse. Also most of the comments are missing
Thanks for looking into it 🙂
Hi @Flipflop@compuverse.uk,
I think the issue here is likely that any activity that occurred in the rest of the Lemmyverse whilst this instance was offline was never federated to us, so this instance doesn’t know about the comments or which were posted before it came back online etc.
This will be problematic right now since lots of active threads will have been created or had comments and votes prior to this instance coming back online, but I believe any new content should come through correctly.
