I have posts and comments on Hexbear from 4 hrs ago that don’t show up

I have a comment on Lemmygrad from 4 hrs ago that doesn’t show up

A recent series of posts from ml to other instances have almost no interaction locally. When viewed remotely, they have higher vote counts (no more comments to compare).

I haven’t extensively looked at the new feed to see if posts are outright missing, but I see the same general pattern spot checking posts that do appear: vote totals much lower than elsewhere, missing comments

I don’t see issues reported on https://phiresky.github.io/lemmy-federation-state/site

Even this post has a comment that didn’t federate from Hexbear, it’ll be 2 soon enough: https://hexbear.net/comment/7223117

It doesn’t show anything different when I reverse them, but the problem isn’t outgoing it’s incoming.

Same post.

Or, to the extent it’s also ~~incoming~~outgoing, I haven’t tried to diagnose that.

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 2 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

That means that something is going on with hexbear's outgoing federation. You'll need to ask them if there's something going wrong.

Plenty of other folks are chiming in with the same experiences. It’s very clearly not just Hexbear. Is every other instance broken? Why are they federating just fine with each other, then?

And yeah, that doesn’t even get into the posts that haven’t federated at all. I only went through a few pages of /new and I’m on posts that are hours old.

it's not just hexbear, traffic here is noticeably & significantly down. i use lemmy at the same times every weekday and have developed a sense of normal based on comment frequency and it's somewhere between 2x (for today) and 4x (for yesterday)

[–] Muehe@lemmy.ml 1 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Nah, something's wrong here on lemmy.ml. Compare these sites:

https://lemmy.world/?dataType=Post&listingType=All&sort=TopDay
https://lemmy.ml/?dataType=Post&listingType=All&sort=TopDay

On world it's FuckAI post with just north of 900 upvotes, on ml it's mostly local posts with the first one having 62 upvotes...

Same is true when comparing other instances, they all look similar to worlds TopDay sort, ml is the odd one out.

Yep. I checked that site and it definitely doesn’t show any issues, clearly everything is working.

Plenty of other folks are chiming in with the same experiences. It’s very clearly not just Hexbear. Is every other instance broken? Why are they federating just fine with each other, then?

Found the problem, I had commented out the Host header in nginx thinking it would not be necessary. Turns out I was wrong. Adding the header back in fixed the problem.

Big thanks for notifying about this!

[–] Trying2KnowMyself@lemmy.ml 2 points 13 hours ago

Thanks for fixing it!

[–] nutomic@lemmy.ml 4 points 17 hours ago

You're right, its also really noticable if you just compare the All feed, on lemmy.ml almost everything from local users. Most posts from other instances are missing. In the server logs are a lot of errors like this:

lemmy-1  |    0: lemmy_server::root_span_builder::HTTP request
lemmy-1  |            with http.method=POST http.scheme="http" http.host=0.0.0.0:10633 http.target=/inbox otel.kind="server" request_id=780b6573-2672-4361-87c2-6ece46e272ee

lemmy-1  | 2026-06-09T17:34:25.537123Z  WARN lemmy_server::root_span_builder: Unknown: Incoming activity has invalid signature

I thought at first that it would be related to the new 0.19.19 release, but downgrading to 0.19.18 doesnt fix the problem.

OP already mentioned in the post body that the problem doesn't seem to show up on that site. Just compare the TopDay/Active sort of different instances, lemmy.ml is missing a whole lot of full posts by now, not just comments.

[–] nutomic@lemmy.ml 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I found it now, posts are coming in normally again.

[–] Muehe@lemmy.ml 4 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Nice. Will old comments/votes also start coming in? I can see posts popping up, but many votes/comments still seem to be missing.

Edit:

Example of things still missing:

https://lemmy.world/post/47922684

Edit2:

Oh yeah, the post seems to be gaining stuff as time goes on, just added another upvote and a comment thread from 22 hours ago.
