Just wanted to mention that I'm seeing some divergence between the way local communities appear here on awful.systems and how they appear on other lemmy sites. For instance, on lemmy.world, here are the top 7 posts on sneerclub:
- Keira Haven's Box of Rocks series
- “Here’s the deal,” the Urbit crew heard the No Agency guy say. “You give me back those twenty hats, I give you back your five thousand dollars, and I never fucking talk to you again.”
- a normal journalist meets the Urbit nerds, who repeatedly threaten her with the wrath of Thiel (2022)
- SneerClub Classic: Big Yud’s Mad Men Cosplay
- My friend with amnesia remembers the Basilik
- I will never get over how the pretty girl in the photo attached is LITERALLY Roko of the Basilisk’s example of the bad ending for humanity
- Birdsite thread comparing EA to a literal cult
Of these, only 3 are available (to me) on awful.systems. I don't see any posts on sneerclub that have failed to show up on lemmy.world.
EDIT: Switching to "NEW" from "ACTIVE" caused the missing posts to show up. The "Active" setting seems to behave as a pretty strong filter on awful.systems, but it's not as strong on lemmy.world.
EDIT #2: I take it back, even after switching to "New", only some of the missing posts showed up.
in your settings, try toggling “show NSFW” off and on again
LOL, defeated by sneerclub's very own rules. That fixed it. Thanks.
So! I have subscribed on awful.systems to [email protected] - and if I post here, the post shows up over there. But new posts over there don't make their way here. Also, I see "subscription pending" at this end, but the kbin buttcoin mod doesn't see anything at that end. I would have presumed that lemmy and kbin talked to each other OK, but then that's like assuming computers work.
I think kbin is a bit slower than lemmy-to-lemmy communication
You can ignore the "subscription pending" message, for all intents and purposes you are subscribed. Consider it a UI quirk.
huh, I need to check back on it but I felt like the behavior we were seeing was severely broken:
- on prod, it stayed on subscription pending and after waiting quite a while, we didn’t see anything come from kbin into our instance
- on dev, subscribing succeeded right away (and showed joined after a UI refresh) and eventually it started receiving posts from kbin
looking through the logs around when you did this, I see the requests flowing to and from kbin.social but a frustrating lack of any errors -- and lemmy just loves logging errors even during normal execution flow. I'll dig into lemmy's github issues today and see if anyone else has a trip report matching yours
weird - i went to make a post and a zillion communities that aren't on this server showed up. How does Lemmy work these out? People here posting to them or something?
"there’s no way I can find to pull in pre-federation posts on remote instances though"
Seems to be slowly syncing? I can see 5 posts in [email protected], some from 14-15 days ago.
Although I can't see the comments/votes on them (yet?). Jank ahoy.
oh nice! I just figured it was impossible
also, welcome!
Oooh nice Jank, sorry if causing issues by test subscribing to communities which are a tad too active for our instance. Tell me if unsubscribing would help.
i went to post just now and a pile of non-local communities were in the list, that might have been it
