Normally Lemmy returns an error if activities cant be handled (eg instance is down). Then the sending instance keeps retrying until it is successful. But in this case its a bit different, and the sending looked successful.

Anyway I made a change to the federation library to add Host header automatically if missing, then this problem wont happen anymore in the future.

Old posts and comments will come in when we receive votes or replies for them. But missing votes won’t be federated.

I found it now, posts are coming in normally again.

Its unrelated, problem was from removing Host header in nginx.

Found the problem, I had commented out the Host header in nginx thinking it would not be necessary. Turns out I was wrong. Adding the header back in fixed the problem.

Big thanks for notifying about this!

You’re right, its also really noticable if you just compare the All feed, on lemmy.ml almost everything from local users. Most posts from other instances are missing. In the server logs are a lot of errors like this:

lemmy-1  |    0: lemmy_server::root_span_builder::HTTP request
lemmy-1  |            with http.method=POST http.scheme="http" http.host=0.0.0.0:10633 http.target=/inbox otel.kind="server" request_id=780b6573-2672-4361-87c2-6ece46e272ee

lemmy-1  | 2026-06-09T17:34:25.537123Z  WARN lemmy_server::root_span_builder: Unknown: Incoming activity has invalid signature

I thought at first that it would be related to the new 0.19.19 release, but downgrading to 0.19.18 doesnt fix the problem.

Dont know whats going on with these comments, but federation status shows up to date in both directions:

• https://phiresky.github.io/lemmy-federation-state/site?domain=lemmy.ml

Yes that’s me ;)

They contacted us just a few days ago, asking if we want to sign. So I also don’t know any more details yet, only what the public declaration says.

Right, 1.0 still needs some more months of development before it’s ready for production.

We are running a beta version on lemmy.ml right now. But it only has minor changes, I guess it should properly be called a release candidate too.

Why do you think that? We are actually running a beta version right now.

Edit: or do you mean testing 1.0 on lemmy.ml? There are still various changes needed before it’s ready for that.

Youre right, made a PR to fix that.

Okay Ive added it.

Okay I’m adding that to the donation page on join-lemmy.org.

Found the problem, on 0.19 you have a very long displayname and 1.0 cant fetch your profile for that reason. So all federation with your account is broken. Made a PR to fix it.

Its intentional because not every post and comment needs to show that a user is admin or mod. Makes it difficult to participate in normal discussions as everything looks like “official” communication. Also the distinguish feature was barely being used.

Better integration with Mastodon or Pixelfed mainly needs to be done from their side, but it seems those projects are not interested. Are there any specific improvements you would like to see?

Thanks for donating!

These are working fine for me. Maybe theme reload is not working in your browser, try reloading the page.

If you don’t have a smartphone are you truly human? ^/s
