comment on Instance update: Default Blocks, and defederations. in c/meta@nord.pub
[–] [S] 3 points 3 days ago

For some added context, I strongly considered a full defederation of lemmy.ml, but in the end there are a few reasons I went with the middle ground of just adding default blocks:

  • Reading up in Piefed instance blocks it appears stronger than Lemmys block, actually blocking all content in both in and outgoing federation on a user level.
  • There are still a lot of communities on lemmy.ml, and even though most communities has alternatives on other instance, if there are cases where no alternative exits (or the alt is dead) it would not be impossible to bypass the block.
  • Avoid disrupting the experience of existing users by suddenly blocking subscribed communities.

    Alright, I found the issue again. I didn't realize that the fix I submitted earlier didn't get backported to PieFed v1.6.x, so I had to make sure to re-apply the patch.

    Okay, this appears to be a different error with a different root cause.

    I will dig into this a bit more, but what I can tell so far from the server logs it appears to be related to importing PeerTube subscriptions.

    Similar issues have been reported affecting several different PieFed instances today. It appears to be a bug connected to loading certain posts in the feed.

    A fix has been merged to the development branch, but it seems rare enough that I will wait for a release before updating.
