I followed my communities from my Mastodon account on die-partei.social to stay up to date. Now I noticed that nothing showed up in my timeline for quite a long time.

Apparently the following has been locked. Communities on lemmy.ml I can still follow without any problems, on lemmy.ca communities I get a notice that a follower request was made - which of course never arrived. The same applies to the attempt to follow my own lemmy.ca account from Mastodon.

Was this option intentionally blocked, is there a problem here?

    ok, i’ve made some changes this morning that will hopefully resolve the ipv6 issues. i will continue to monitor it for the next few days to make sure everything is working correctly.

      it’s been over two days and the ipv6 connection appears to be holding. i will continue to monitor it but i believe the issue has been resolved. 🎉

          you will probably need to contact the admin of your instance (or I can if you let me know which instance you’re on) so they can re-enable communication with lemmy.ca. from what I understand, since the ipv6 hasn’t been working since late January, mastodon will eventually just give up. so the instance admin I contacted said they just pressed a “Start Deliver” button and things started working again on that instance.

            A public explanation of where to find this ‘start deliver’-button would be super if possible. I might have to notify a few for the my larger community. 😉

            edit: tried to open a comment or account from various instances I’m on: Mastodon: brands.town, die-partei.social

            Friendica: friendica.xyz, loma.ml

            None worked. Maybe I’ll rather give up on this.

              i’m not 100% sure sorry, i’m pretty sure it’s just something a mastodon admin has access to.

              i’m not sure what you mean by this? do you mean you tried to follow your lemmy.ca account from those instances and none worked?

                this plus explicit search for a post to open like https://lemmy.ca/comment/139287. Says nothing found as if it would not exist.

                  fyi: This is what I see if I’m trying to join a lemmy.ca-community from friendica.xyz which I can do without issues on other Lemmy-instances:
