If you’re wondering why it has been looking quiet here, we stumbled upon an issue that caused lemdro.id to stop federating out its community content.
It should now be resolved but please let us know if there are any issues!
What happened to be the problem?
Basically, the lemmy backend service for some reason marked every instance we federated with as inactive, which caused it to stop outbound federation with basically everyone. I have a few working theories on why, but not fully sure yet.
TL;DR lemmy bug, required manual database intervention to fix
This was a stressful start to a vacation!
Thanks for all your hard work!
I suspect the readers are a very technical crowd. I would love to know the details.

fyi, I replied in this thread!
I see. I was concerned about the reduced activity levels overall down to single vote posts.
A welcome back from lemmy.world is in order (Found this via filtering by all instances, not just .wotld and subscribed instances )
Belated thanks!
Glad to have one of my favourite instances back when a vengeance.
BTW @ijeff@lemdro.id can we get the ability to edit our posts please? Way too often I’ll submit and then go back and edit to provide more information if the preview falls short, but lemdro.id doesn’t allow this.
lemdro.id doesn’t disable editing so I’m not sure what you mean
The option isn’t there for me.
have you tried in the default lemmy ui? it might be a sync bug
Ah, it is indeed an app bug as both Sync and Jerboa can’t edit. The Web UI does indeed allow it though. Weird.
If you’re using Sync, it doesn’t currently support post editing! I usually use Photon or the default UI to edit my submissions.
Ah, so that’s why! I was worried about the lack of activity around here!
