Issues with lemmy.world connectivity - newer communities not syncing, community subscriptions pending forever (lemm.ee)

submitted 1 year ago by tranceFusion@lemm.ee to c/meta@lemm.ee

8 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I noticed that new communities added to lemmy.world are showing up on browse.feddit.de and lemmy.ml but not here.. for example, this community seems to be 12 days old and still not appearing in the search here:

https://lemmy.world/c/penguins

Additionally, my subscriptions to the lemmy.world communities that do show up here have been stuck "Pending Subscription" for days, and unsubscribing/re-subscribing doesn't help.

I know there's a lot of known issues but I wasn't sure if there was a specific connection problem with this particular instance since I don't really seem able to interact with it.

You have to search for the community for your local instance to discover it, the first person to subscribe triggers the discovery and flow of data.

Additionally, my subscriptions to the lemmy.world communities that do show up here have been stuck “Pending Subscription” for days, and unsubscribing/re-subscribing doesn’t help.

Symptom of their server being overloaded and not responding to the request. Ongoing issue with version 0.18.1 even. GitHub: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3203

Thanks, but... I realize that you need to search for it, but the search is yielding no results. I did also notice there seems to be a delay of a few hours for new communities to show up, but it has been over a week.

Well, it's showing up now! Not sure if it's related to the upgrade. In general, what is the exact format needed for it to locate an unsynced community? "penguins@lemmy.world" ? And does that go in the Community auto-complete dropdown or the search box?

[–] thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It would've been either [!penguins@lemmy.world](/c/penguins@lemmy.world) (note the ! at the start) or I believe you can also search for the full URL like with Kbin magazines. Most likely if you'd been searching without the !, that was the problem all along and my search a few minutes ago indexed the community for all lemm.ee users.

[–] tranceFusion@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Hmm yeah I think you are likely right about that. When I search "!penguins@lemmy.world" the community is returned. Without the "!", there are no results. Thank you!

Just searched for the penguins thing myself and it shows up fine. Maybe the upgrade has fixed whatever the issue was!

Then it is servers dropping peer to peer communications, timeouts or other problems because of overload.
