Basically, the lemmy backend service for some reason marked every instance we federated with as inactive, which caused it to stop outbound federation with basically everyone. I have a few working theories on why, but not fully sure yet.
TL;DR lemmy bug, required manual database intervention to fix
This was a stressful start to a vacation!
For a more detailed working theory...
I've been doing a lot of infrastructure upgrades lately. Lemdro.id runs on a ton of containerized services that scale horizontally for each part of the stack globally and according to load. It's pretty cool. But my theory is that since the backend schedules inactive checking for 24 hours from when it starts that it simply was being restarted (upgraded) before it had a chance to check activity until it was too late.
theory:
-
scheduled task checks instances every 24 hours
-
I updated (restarted it) more than every 24 hours
-
it never had a chance to run the check
-
???
-
failure
This isn't really a great design for inactivity checking and I'll be submitting a pull request to fix it.
Thanks for all your hard work!
I suspect the readers are a very technical crowd. I would love to know the details.

fyi, I replied in this thread!
I see. I was concerned about the reduced activity levels overall down to single vote posts.
Glad to have one of my favourite instances back when a vengeance.
BTW @ijeff@lemdro.id can we get the ability to edit our posts please? Way too often I'll submit and then go back and edit to provide more information if the preview falls short, but lemdro.id doesn't allow this.
lemdro.id doesn't disable editing so I'm not sure what you mean
The option isn't there for me.
have you tried in the default lemmy ui? it might be a sync bug
Ah, it is indeed an app bug as both Sync and Jerboa can't edit. The Web UI does indeed allow it though. Weird.
If you're using Sync, it doesn't currently support post editing! I usually use Photon or the default UI to edit my submissions.
A welcome back from lemmy.world is in order (Found this via filtering by all instances, not just .wotld and subscribed instances )
Belated thanks!
Ah, so that's why! I was worried about the lack of activity around here!
