I was posting on other instances (lemmy.world) and checked their modlog to make sure I’m not banned or defederated. Know most people here probably just follow Monero news, so it’s fine if it’s better to for me to just make an account on a larger instance.
Anyways, it’s been a while since I’ve seen a meta discussion. How have you all been this year, and what do you all think of the fediverse from these past six months?
The lemmy software seems to have gotten rather stable, we have had decent growth and no big issues, everything you’d want for a niche forum. I am quite happy with the current state of monero.town :)
I like monero.town too, thanks for your work on it.
But Jeknilah seems to be on to something with the comments not showing in other instances.
Is there a way that one instance can filter out or block users from a non-local instance from having their comments display?
I’ve made some elsewhere in non subscribed, non local instances, and while they show for me in my profile and while logged in, they do not in fact display publically when checking that same instance in a separate uncached browser while logged out. And I rarely, if ever, get replies or up/down votes from comments made elsewhere.
There was an issue with v19 but v19.1 should have fixed it. I don’t think there’s anything wrong on our end, if anything it’s lemmy-related. We aren’t de-federated by any big instances and block nobody ourselves. Federation itself is just pretty wonky by the nature of its design 🤷♂️
I came across a post a day or so ago basically saying that the 19.1 version still has broken federation, and the another fix hasn’t come quickly since it’s still holiday season. @shortwavesurfer@monero.town @VolunTerry@monero.town @tusker@monero.town
Thanks to both of you for the follow-up and extra info. Hopefully the federation issues get resolved in this recent or future releases.
Out of curiosity, I opened a separate browser to check a bunch of comments I’d made at lemmy.world and while they show for me in my comment history while logged in to my local instance on my profile, they do not show when browsing while not logged in at the other non-local/non-subscribed instance.

This is actually my main account on the fediverse. The fediverse works best when the users are spread out on many small instances. I like this instance in particular because it doesn’t block major instances and requires no email address
Yeah, I’m able to interact with other instances.
Actually no, went to lemmy.ml and couldn’t find your comment.
Hmmm. Alright then
I can confirm a similar experience to Jeknilah with some of my own comments. They appear for me locally or in my profile when logged in, but not publically when accessed in a separate browser and not logged in.
Yep, I am beginning to think something is up because I sent a post to a community and It shows up for me, but does not show on the other instance
Most lemmy instances are run by hardcore NPC communists, they are most likely shadow banning any other instance that has a semblance of free thought.
Lemmy federation is definetely broken right now (at least for monero.town), our comments and votes don’t show up on any other instance
While definitely a possibility, I did do a check to see if we were on their block list and we are not.
