I have posts and comments on Hexbear from 4 hrs ago that don’t show up
I have a comment on Lemmygrad from 4 hrs ago that doesn’t show up
A recent series of posts from ml to other instances have almost no interaction locally. When viewed remotely, they have higher vote counts (no more comments to compare).
I haven’t extensively looked at the new feed to see if posts are outright missing, but I see the same general pattern spot checking posts that do appear: vote totals much lower than elsewhere, missing comments
I don’t see issues reported on https://phiresky.github.io/lemmy-federation-state/site
Yep. I checked that site and it definitely doesn’t show any issues, clearly everything is working.
Plenty of other folks are chiming in with the same experiences. It’s very clearly not just Hexbear. Is every other instance broken? Why are they federating just fine with each other, then?

And yeah, that doesn’t even get into the posts that haven’t federated at all. I only went through a few pages of /new and I’m on posts that are hours old.
Found the problem, I had commented out the
Hostheader 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 | at src/root_span_builder.rs:16 lemmy-1 | 2026-06-09T17:34:25.537123Z WARN lemmy_server::root_span_builder: Unknown: Incoming activity has invalid signatureI 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.
