Programming.Dev is going to be going down starting at around 00:01 UTC Monday Dec 2 to attempt to fix the database corruption that happened relating to communities.
This has been affecting attempting to look at the pages for certain communities (it would end up loading forever instead of actually showing the posts for the community) and was affecting federation in some cases.
This is the second attempt to fix the issues with the first one needing to be rollbacked from due to the fix not working.
This fix could take several hours, so the outage window is going to be from 00:01 - 06:00 Dec 2.
I thinki founda small issue though I can’t be sure it’s related to the corrupted data and yesterdays maintenance. It looks like a few of my community subscriptions are a little broken? FYI I’m using voyager on IOS.
As the server catches up, more content from the last two months has been showing up in my home feed. Fantastic! I decided that I don’t want to subscribe to [email protected] anymore. So I looked at my subscriptions, selected dailygames, tapped the “3 dots” menu button, and tried to unsubscribe. However, I subscribed again rather unsubscribed. I then looked at my subscribers again and saw daily games listed twice. Then, I unsubscribed using the same method but this only removed one instance of my subscription to dailygames.
So the content showed up in my home feed. My subscription was seemingly working fine. But I couldn’t unsubscribe as the subscription was not recognized in some contexts. It really feels like some crossed data in the database. Thankfully, this is a very small issue.
I have at least one more subscription that’s showing the same problem.
Lastly, I did find a solution. Voyager’s list of community subscriptions allows you to swipe on a specific community to unsubscribe from it. That worked just fine!
