the normal bug report form does not serve this kind of issue. So far, the problem can be observed and reported, but not identified at the code or log levels.

Even after lemmy.ml upgraded hardware yesterday, this posting serves as an example of how comments are not making it to other instances of Lemmy. This is the same posting, different id on each instance:

    Issue #3133 is closed due to being a duplicate of the same problem, but it does offer up some more hand-linked examples of how this issue is widespread.

    I think instance server operators also need to look at how many users are having ‘pending subscribe/join’ stuck problems to other federated instances. This is one place in the UI that they can see something isn’t right regarding data making it between instance servers. This PostgreSQL query will show you how many pending subscribe/join are in your database: SELECT * FROM community_follower WHERE pending='t'; – EDIT: I have since opened an issue on this specific problem: #3203

    I personally am struggling with my communications on these topics, but I am trying to help. I did start to play with a NodeJS webapp to do direct SQL against Lemmy for instance administrators: https://github.com/RocketDerp/lemmy_helper
