baraza - 0.14.1 lemmy.ml - 0.14.3

I am posting from @halo@lemmy.ml to !africa@baraza.africa. Baraza is also federating with mastodon.social. A mastodon account, @mbiruiru@mastodon.social follows baraza.africa/c/africa community.

When the mastodon account replies to the post made by the lemmy account on baraza community, the reply goes to lemmy only and is not propagated to baraza.

will comment on this post with observed changes.

    I clicked follow for !africa@baraza.africa (among some other Baraza.africa communities as well), but on Mastodon that profile shows “Cancel Follow Request”.

    Is this something that requires the mod to accept the follow request (or something like that)?

      Did you try to follow Baraza communities via Mastodon? I did see that “Cancel Follow Request” sporadically and now it seems resolved (displaying “Unfollow”). The mastodon federation is still at the community level. I will check in with @nutomic@lemmy.ml on what that means exactly. Is there a role for the remote Mastodon admin to play so that “Cancel Follow Request” move to full “Unfollow”.

          Before I make the changes, what does that mean in practice? I have an account on Mastodon and it sees posts from baraza communities. I am on lemmy0.14.3 if that helps. Was this nginx config a requirement when updating? I did not see it in the docs, unless it was baked in during the updates.

            Its a change we made for Mastodon to be compatible with Lemmy. So it was part of the v0.14 release, but we forgot to mention it in the changelog. Without it, Mastodon wont be able to fetch Lemmy posts/communities etc when you search the url on Mastodon. But that is working fine with your instance.

            There is something wrong with your inbox though, meaning activities sent to your instance dont arrive. Make sure you also have this line (with correct port). Ansible takes care of that automatically btw. If the nginx config looks fine, try to capture some logs on your instance while sending an activity (eg create comment or vote) to baraza, using docker-compose logs -f lemmy -t 100.
