I’m still seeing cases where comments don’t seem to be federating correctly. For example:

https://lemmy.ml/comment/7476880 https://aussie.zone/comment/5881947
https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/5759107 https://aussie.zone/comment/5888459
https://midwest.social/comment/6313276 https://aussie.zone/comment/5889962

I’m not sure what the cause is, but the last few days it seems more of my comments are failing to federate than are succeeding.

    Ok, there’s more to this than I first thought. It seems there is a back end task set to run at a set time every day, if the instance is restarting at that time the task doesn’t run… this task updates the instances table to show remote instances as “seen” by AZ. With the memory leaks in 0.19.1, the instance has been restarting when this task is running… leading to this situation.

    I’ve updated the server restart cronjob to not run around the time this task runs… and I’ve again manually updated the DB to flag all known instances as alive rather than dead.

    Will keep an eye on it some more…

    For anyone curious, two of the bugs that are related to this:
