lemmyverse.net looks to be unmaintained and is become increasingly less useful - Lemmy.World

As you may have noticed, the crawler at https://lemmyverse.net [https://lemmyverse.net] isn’t picking up anything from instances on versions 0.19.4 or 0.19.5. The Issue [https://github.com/tgxn/lemmy-explorer/issues/184] itself is easily fixed, and there’s already a PR [https://github.com/tgxn/lemmy-explorer/pull/183] for it from lemm.ee [http://lemm.ee]’s admin, but there’s been no response from the lemmyverse developer. Does anyway have any other ways of contacting him? If this continues (I realise 2 weeks isn’t that long), is anyone interested in forking the code and hosting it on a new domain? Thanks.

Quick video demonstrating that lemmy.world sends every activity out twice - Lemmy.World

I realise this is a known issue and that lemmy.world isn’t the only instance that does this. Also, I’m aware that there are other things affecting federation. But I’m seeing some things not federate, and can’t help thinking that things would be going smoother if all the output from the biggest lemmy instance wasn’t 50% spam. Hopefully this doesn’t seem like I’m shit-stirring, or trying to make the Issue I’m interested in more important than other Issues. It’s something I mention occasionally, but it might be a bit abstract if you’re not the admin of another instance. The red terminal is a tail -f of the nginx log on my server. The green terminal is outputting some details from the ActivityPub JSON containing the Announce. You should be able to see the correlation between the lines in the nginx log, and lines from the activity, and that everything is duplicated. This was generated by me commenting on an old post [https://lemmy.world/post/5544057], using content that spawns an answer from a couple of bots, and then me upvoting the response. (so CREATE, CREATE, LIKE, is being announced as CREATE, CREATE, CREATE, CREATE, LIKE, LIKE). If you scale that up to every activity by every user, you’ll appreciate that LW is creating a lot of work for anyone else in the Fediverse, just to filter out the duplicates.

4 Different Announces for the same Post - what would you say has happened? - Lemmy.World

My server is subscribed to [email protected] [/c/[email protected]], and received 4 different Announces for this post: https://lemmy.world/post/13762128 [https://lemmy.world/post/13762128] I’ve dumped the JSONs as comments to the post. I’m unsure of what has happened, so thought I’d ask here to see if any devs have some insights. If it’s feddit.de [http://feddit.de] sending rubbish, I’m surprised that the posts weren’t actually made to SWM (even with incorrect object.object.ids, since I’ve been able to create posts where the fedi-link would 404). If it’s lemmy.world announcing rubbish, this is surprising too, because I thought Announces just wrapped the original content. Thanks! EDIT: oh well, this was a waste of time. LW doesn’t seem to have sent anything to lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] for hours.

The 'memes' community is missing an outbox - Lemmy.World

For anyone unaware, a community’s outbox typically contains the last 50 or so Post Announcements - it is retrieved when you are the first person to find a community on a remote instance. It also seems to be fetched whenever an community on a remote instance realizes it’s out of sync with the community on its host instance. Compare: Bash curl --header 'accept: application/json' https://lemmy.world/c/memes | jq -r .outbox => https://lemmy.world/c/memes/outbox curl --header 'accept: application/json' https://lemmy.world/c/memes/outbox | jq . { "error": "unknown", "message": "Record not found" } with Bash curl --header 'accept: application/json' https://lemmy.world/c/linuxmemes | jq -r .outbox => https://lemmy.world/c/linuxmemes/outbox curl --header 'accept: application/json' https://lemmy.world/c/linuxmemes/outbox | jq .orderedItems[0] { "id": "https://lemmy.world/activities/announce/create/0223f939-aafc-4215-9c20-a3460c967f63" ... (the rest of the most recent post from linux memes) } (I came across this randomly, so I don’t know if ‘memes’ is the only community missing an outbox. Others I’ve tried have been OK though)

Introducing It's Like Poetry March! (A Monthly Theme) [ILPM] - Lemmy.World

Hello again, February’s finally over, so 4 Frame memes are old news. Now, for March, memes with rhymes in them are what’s required to get Featured in the Community. This one will be stickied until a new meme with (ideally terrible) rhymes in and [ILPM] somewhere in the title is submitted, and then the new post will be stickied instead (it’s a manual affair atm, so it won’t be instant) Thanks!
