We did some changes in the database and it seems like outbound federation is working again. If you run into any more problems with it let us know.
Im pinning this post for around a day to let everyone know since we had the last post pinned for a bit
Any posts or comments made while it was broken still wont be federated but new ones should be. The instance essentially marked all other instances as dead which meant it thought it didn't have to send things to them
Looks like that post was made when federation was broken (there was a small window 14 days ago when it went down again) so itll still have issues with federating comments. Recent posts and comments in the community seem to still be fine
@snowe@programming.dev@Ategon@programming.dev Outgoing federation to reddthat.com seems to still be broken (or broken again?) - yesterday I had to search for a post there to make it show up, and I've just posted a comment that also isn't appearing.
yeah it broke again for a bit, getting that up rn. Seems to be that the instance isnt automatically marking things alive so after 3 days everything is marked as dead again
Is it a problem their end or this end? I thought the issue was that the outgoing server (ours, in this case) wasn't federating things outwards because it mistakenly believed the recipient was dead.
