Federation issue with rss.ponder.cat?

2 years ago by onlinepersona to c/meta

I tried accessing !nytimes@rss.ponder.cat from programming.dev and there's nothing there, but https://rss.ponder.cat/c/nytimes sure has a bunch.

Is there another federation issue in lemmy again?

It seems that p.d didn't or wasn't able to fetch the community moderator list yet, which would prevent it from accepting any new posts to the community, as it's set to allow posting by mods only and the bot isn't detected as mod yet.

I think the only way (without manual intervention) might be to access the community after 24h to have Lemmy refresh this from the origin server.

Cool! I didn't know about this instance.

How does it work?

It's an RSS feed per community. A dude wrote his own scripts. Discussion is here.

Federation seems to be working, just that one specific community broke for some reason

All these communities fall under the realm of things I hide from the main feeds though since its majority bot content so at some point youll have to subscribe to see the posts

!bbc@rss.ponder.cat is also broken. So is !hackaday@rss.ponder.cat, !scientificamerica@rss.ponder.cat and pretty much every other community I accessed.

All these communities fall under the realm of things I hide from the main feeds

Do you manually hide them?

Yeah, I go through and hide things every once in awhile by looking though communities in the database with some queries

BBC is hidden since i just went though and hid them. Sub and youll see all the posts. Hackaday isnt fetching posts looks like (did anyone sub previously?)

The last one should be scientificamerican instead of scientificamerica and seems to be functioning but hidden so sub and youll see the posts

🤔 there must be a way to make users aware that subscribing is necessary. Indeed, after subbing I can now see posts, but as a user, I'm unaware which communities requiring subbing to have content shown and which ones just aren't working. Having to sub to a community in order to find out is an insider trick.

If a community is shown with proper data its working and probably hidden (the one thats broken, nytimes, doesnt have correct data since its missing the stats and mod list)

But yeah lemmy has terrible UX for hidden communities atm

I think it's federating. Are you following that community? I think federation sometimes only works for new content after the first follower.

This post federated for me after following multiple communities that /u/bot@rss.ponder.cat was moderating.

edit: I think I'm wrong. I just checked and there are new New York Times articles that didn't federate.
