It seems that for at most the past 2 days the federation is partially broken.

Comments, posts, votes and DMs load from other instances, but not the other way around.

    A lot of things seem to be broken right now, and /u/SDF has been away for months.

    Blocks and subscriptions aren’t working https://lemmy.sdf.org/comment/5513086 And lemmy.sdf.org is no longer listed here https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances

    I guess I’ll check back in a few months to see how things are going. But for now I’ll use other instances.

    For anyone who chose this instance due to the low “blocked by & blocked instances” (see github link above), futurology.today https://futurology.today/ has low blocks too, but no old UI https://old.lemmy.sdf.org.

      Things are more broken because of a undocumented upgrade from Lemmy 0.19.0-rc.4 to 0.19.0-rc.5 that happened sometime these past days and its been leading to connection issues all around

      Its also concerning there has been no communication regarding these server upgrades in the main thread, Lemmy 0.19 doesn’t seem to be anywhere close to stable to be pushed onto main, yet we keep upgrading (perhaps because a downgrade from 0.19 is not possible?)

        You should login to the system and express your concerns! I do agree lack of communication from within the platform is frustrating. But the sdf does have a help desk and chat rooms where you can reach the people who maintain the system.

          I’m not familiar with any of them. IMO they should have a place here for it.

        Additionally, less than a month ago SDF has sent out e-mails re-assuring that they’re in Lemmy for the long run.

        We want to assure you that lemmy.sdf.org as well as our regional instances are in for the long haul. SDF.ORG is celebrating 36 years as a non-commercial community resource this year.

      Yeah, it’s at least the second week, what with this and the 0.19RC ‘upgrade’ breaking app access I also have had to migrate

      Done. Is there a way to link or transfer accounts yet?
