I’m trying to access this community from fedia.io:
Searching for that URL or !french@sopuli.xyz yields nothing. If I manually visit this URL:
https://fedia.io/m/french@sopuli.xyz
I get a 404.
btw, this post would be better suited in
https://fedia.io/m/Mdev@kbin.run
but when I try to post there I get:
This page isn’t workingfedia.io is currently unable to handle this request.
HTTP ERROR 500
Which makes this post herein relevant to the fedia magazine after all.
I’ve noticed that a large number of communities on Lemmy.world aren’t visible here. You only get a 404. I’ve noticed this when looking at US state communities:
https://fedia.io/m/washington@lemmy.world https://fedia.io/m/oregon@lemmy.world https://fedia.io/m/illinois@lemmy.world https://fedia.io/m/georgia@lemmy.world https://fedia.io/m/indiana@lemmy.world https://fedia.io/m/florida@lemmy.world https://fedia.io/m/wisconsin@lemmy.world
And I’m sure there are others. What’s weird is that some are visible, but others are not. There doesn’t seem to be any pattern that I can see.
I’ll take a look
Thanks.
Ok. I don’t know why this works, but if you search for the magazine (ie search for oregon@lemmy.world) it’ll return a result. After that, the links you posted starts working.
Yes, it’s coming up now, but no content is being federated. So it is unfortunately showing up as an empty sub.
Remote magazines only get new posts from the point in time when they are created locally. It won’t pull old posts off the originating server.
Update: Maybe not. I thought that’s how it works but I see content in the Florida one. Curious. I don’t know then. ¯\(ツ)/¯Update 2: comment from e-five could explain how old posts show up on new communities.
It should receive data from any activity at the other community. The problem seems to be Fedia not receiving data from certain communities.
It’s not just the state communities. There’s a lot of communities that are missing posts. Even ones that happened recently. For instance: https://fedia.io/m/netsec@lemmy.world
And I’ve noticed some servers aren’t federating anything, like lemy.nl: https://fedia.io/m/nieuws@lemy.nl
Make sure to subscribe to communities you want. It’s not just searching for it and loading it, but if there are no local subscribers it won’t get updates (and the last subscriber unsubbing would put it in this situation).
This became a bit harder to tell ever since mbin switched to showing real subscriber numbers rather than local like kbin has. There is an active PR to try to address this issue so users are able to tell when data isn’t coming in
I am not sure what is going on with some of the lemmy.world communities - some do seem to be having issues like netsec, while others like https://fedia.io/m/news@lemmy.world are humming along very well. I’ll keep poking at it.
The Florida one does because I followed it and there has been posts since then
actually, I’m wrong - the posts that appeared after I followed it are weeks old. I can’t explain that.
I can’t seem to get a result for bicycle_touring@lemmy.world
I searched for it in magazines. Do i need to search for it elsewhere?
edit: Oh yeah, i guess i needed to search from just the main search. Found it.
it may be related to the ongoing federation problems. https://fedia.io/m/french@sopuli.xyz is working now for me. there are no posts in it yet on our instance because no one had subscribed to it until now.
Also, I checked the source and there have been no new posts since. I’ll keep an eye on it.
Thanks for the investigation and tips. I was able to see it by querying the substring you mentioned.
I didn’t even think this thread herein posted. Got the 500 error a couple times when posting here and in mdev, and gave up. I forgot that error 500 often happens /after/ the task executes, hence some dupe threads.
