Hey all,

My personal home-hosted server ran out of disk space and so went offline while I was away and I didn’t notice it for a week or two.

This meant that federation requests (or subscriptions requests) went offline and now most of the servers I’m federated with are lagging. I’m only getting updates from a couple.

Is there a way to trigger federated servers back to life so I get the subscription updates? Federation does seem to be working, given some servers seem to federate fine and this post was via federation and has worked.

    I think this happens automatically when they see activity coming from your instance? I guess if you use your instance to upvote and comment on stuff then it’ll refresh the status?

    or I think servers recheck dead instances on a scheduled task, every 24 hours
