This thread is for some common issues / weirdness you may encounter with your blog in the fediverse. Please feel free to ask any other questions here. Not finding your blog First, make sure you’re searching for your blog in one of these formats: @username@write.as username@write.as https://write…

Thanks for sending along the info. I didn’t find any issues with your instance, and indeed I followed the blog from my instance and received your most recent post automatically. Have you tried unfollowing / re-following your blog more recently?

The point of it is mostly community. It’ll make the most sense for anyone who uses services like Mastodon , but you can also see how it works in this video .

Ok, federation with my blog seems to be working again. I did a test with a very short blog post without images and it was posted to the fediverse as expected. I don’t know if this has been fixed or it worked because of the very short blog post. I’ll check this with the next regular blog post.
