Setting up instance again. Testing that federation still works
[EDIT]
Conclusions:
-
Re-creating an instance and creating a user with the same name as before creates an issue when it re-interacts with a different instance. This user’s page won’t load.
-
If a user changes its display name and/or icon after interacting with a second instance, the changes will not be reflected in the second instance. At least not within a few minutes.
Appears to still work. My user page will not load if I try to access it through https://lemmy.ml/u/Sal@mander.xyz. Maybe there is an issue because I had interacted with lemmy.ml previously with the same account and now re-created the whole instance.
testing with new account name to see if this user is loaded
Test: Changed display name and icon before interacting with lemmy.ml
Changed the display name once again to see if the change is reflected (from “ChangeBefore” to “ChangeAgain”)
