How to get servers to re-federate/re-subscribe after a time offline? (lemmy.myspamtrap.com)

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 had my Lemmy instance offline a few months ago (moved to another apartment) and it ended up solving itself out about a day after I set it up again. So patience is the solution?

I thought that, and in the past I’ve been off for a day or two and always caught up.

This time I haven’t and it’s been a week or two since coming back online.

Have you tried unsubscribing and re-subscribing to communities on instances that do not push updates? I think I did back then.

Yeah, I’ve tried that a couple of times too.

And run through all the federation troubleshooting steps in the docs.
