I’m hosting my own Lemmy instance and so far everything has been pretty smooth. However I’m noticing some issues with specific instances, communities, or comments not showing up through my own instance.
I had added instances to the allow list initially but I cleared those so that it’s wide open now. I have an account on lemm.ee and I use that periodically to compare feeds, and like I said sometimes a post or comment is missing, actually I often see a comment that looks like it’s responding to a another comment, but I cannot see the parent comment.
Initially I took my admin account and subscribed to all of the most popular communities I could find, but that seems to have left some holes.
Is there a way to force federation with more Lemmy instances?
Thank you for any direction you can provide.
If you mass subscribed then it would help to know what kind of hardware you’re running Lemmy on, and what type of connection. Since DB and connectivity issues might explain the issue. Generally you can’t “catch up” if your instance is unreachable for any length of time so being available 24/7/365 is important if you want to ensure you get and can see all content.
Copy that, thank you!
I spun up Ubuntu on a Linode so it should be up all the time. I check the Linode dash fairly often and haven’t seen any issues with it.
