[Solved] User name and community name clash caused federation issues

I am commenting with my @humanetech@lemmy.ml account on lemmy.ml/post/346923

Then from mastodon.social several weird behavior:

  • Searching on lemmy.ml/post/346923 doesn't find anything.
  • Searching on @fediversefutures doesn't find anything (though search on @fediversefutures@lemmy.ml does)
  • When opening @fediversefutures profile in the timeline, I do not see my @humanetech@lemmy.ml comments.
  • But I do see comments from other lemmy.ml accounts replying to the same post.
  • When I click such reply, the thread loads minus my own replies, and minus my top-level post, which isn't in the timeline for @fediversefutures either when viewing from Mastodon UI (using my @humanetech@mastodon.social account).

Update

Thanks to some great help of @LemmyDev@mastodon.social in this toot I found out that my account was broken, because someone had later on created a community with the same name. There are open issues to handle such cases:

Since the community was inactive LemmyDev deleted it, and my account works again

@humanetech I think the issues you linked are wrong. These are the relevant ones: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/17008 https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1922 As you can see they are still open, but not fixed yet.

@humanetech We also noticed this problem in the feddit.it instance and at the moment we solved it by maintaining the system we left when we created the instance: that is, the creation of new communities, upon request to the instance administrators.

@Lemmy

In this way we achieve two objectives:
- preventive monitoring on the creation of communities with the same ID as existing users
- mutual knowledge between the administrators and creators of the communities
