Lemmy-Federate doesn't subscribe if there is a local subscriber already. (hackertalks.com)

Report of the same issue in lemmy support - https://hackertalks.com/post/9701951

If a user is the only subscriber on a instance, and gets banned, and unbanned, then unban wont federate.

If lemmy-federate would subscribe even if there are already local subscribers, then this lemmy issue would be moot for lemmy-federated communities (there would always be at least one subscriber on the instance with the lemmy-federate bot, so the unban gets federated).

I didn’t want to manipulate counts. If we had 500 instances registered, that would be problem.

Currently it doesn’t re-subscribe because it’s kind of edge case. It would also be fixed by increasing count to 2. I’m resetting the database every 1-2 months too.

500 would just become the new baseline, but i see your point.

Thank you for explaining it.

Is there a way to get lemmy-federate to refresh my instance? (i'm still trying to find all the communities that get unsubscribed)

If you update your settings, all entries will be reset. Just click Save button in the management page.
