Blog Federation not Working

Feedback Bugs
1

Hello. I’ve noticed that my blog (which is set to public) hasn’t shared any of my posts via federation since March 10th. Is there any way to kick it back into gear?

Thanks!

Hey just to be sure, are you still following your blog from your Mastodon / fediverse account? Posts won’t show up on a Mastodon, etc. instance unless someone on that instance is following the blog.

Yes. I’m following blog@blog,cheribaker.com from cheribaker@writing.exchange

The last post that came through was on March 10th.

Yeah, my art blog at https://peekachello.art/ doesn’t seem to be getting through to my account on writing.exchange, which is following it. Worked a month or so ago, but not so much today. / @matt

Hmm, could you both try unfollowing and following your blogs again? It looks like you both might’ve been removed as followers somehow – likely some other federated activity happening on your blog.

I’m investigating what might be causing this bug now, and will let you all know when I have more information.

Sure thing. Done. :slight_smile:

I’ll check back in next time I post and let you know what I see. Thanks!

I unfollowed and refollowed. Don’t have anything new to post on the blog just yet, though.

Hi @matt,

Rather than make a new thread, I figured I would post here. New blog posts are not being added to the auto-created Federation account. Only 2 and I’ve posted dozens. Not sure why.

Hey @justinf, just to be sure:

  • Are you following your blog from your Mastodon account?
  • If yes, does your Mastodon account show up on your Subscribers page?
  • Is the profile showing up on Mastodon with your custom domain in the handle?

I’ve been following your blog from @matt@writing.exchange and I’m getting all your latest posts. But let me know, and I can always take a deeper look on our end if needed.

  1. Yes.
  2. Yes.
  3. Yes.

So I published a bunch of posts, and one from August went through to Mastodon, but nothing else. I dont get it.
