After long period of downtime, experiencing issues with federation
Hello, this is a bit of an odd one as the issue only seems to be present with a few other instances.
My Instance: pleroma.amoonrabbit.reisen Built from Angristan's repository so is a docker mono-container Self-hosted and behind Nginx proxy Version: 2.2.2
Backstory: Back in December, I had some issues with my ISP's provision, this ultimately ended up with the line going down, and my network being marooned for over a month. I had to change ISP's to get back online because the previous one were not taking any action. During this downtime, the server was online as it also hosts my Funkwhale instance, and I didn't think to stop the Pleroma container from running during this time, though I am not too sure whether that would have helped things to be honest.
The Issue: Pre-ISPoutage, I was able to interact with users of the udongein.xyz and lain.com instances with no issues. After however, it appears that we can't see each others messages unless a working federation is involved. To clarify:-
Messages that are purely between my instance, and the affected instances will not be seen by the receiving party
If a known working instance is involved in the thread, messages will suddenly come in, even past messages in the same thread. In my case it would have been the tests I was doing using my pawoo.net account.
Other behaviour includes the following; If I look at a member's profile of the affected instance, I see messages from hours ago or days in some cases, these are usually because they are part of a thread with a working instance.
If users from affected instances look at my profile, they get the same issue, only see old information unless involved with a working instance.
The below thread is one where I was trying to understand what is going on, hopefully this will be useful Testing my instance with Udongein.xyz with Pawoo.net as a go between
In the Admin FE, under Statuses and when filtering to just udongein.xyz, I can see all the posts from their bots but I have the forcebotunlisted policy enabled, I have just removed that though to see if that does anything. I have also removed the delist option for MRF Object Age incase this could be what's upsetting it? I'm not entirely sure though.
Please understand that I am by no means pro or intermediate with this, so please step me through processes where you can.
