So I finally got tired of the hit and miss of using azorius on the same subdomain as my old lemmy install. I assumed it was a key issue so I killed the DB and re initialized the build, and am now hosting it under the new subdomain deddit.
I subscribed to all the same communities but this time I noticed when loading a new community no posts were shown, though the logs clearly show json dumps with posts from those groups. I didn’t think anything of it and kept subscribing to my groups. Sometimes a couple of posts would show but usually zero posts.
Today, I see a few commeints but no new posts. Even though the groups are active with new posts, etc.
I see a lot of these entries in the logs:
2023/08/24 16:02:45 no post for comment: https://programming.dev/comment/2291160
Anything I can do to troubleshoot this? Are there any key files stored I should have wiped out or something? I did delete the entire -datadir and recreated it.
That’s a pretty normal log entry. We don’t (currently) attempt to fetch parents for comments. When you subscribe to a new group, you’ll get a bunch of comments for posts you don’t have, but as the group rolls over and new posts come in, everything should work.
I think you just need to wait a bit longer. If you’re getting comments, even if we’re not currently saving them, that’s a good sign everything is working. The posts will get there eventually.
The slow start is not ideal, but I don’t think it indicates anything wrong.
