Ignore this toot just testing something.
#FreeBSD

[justine@snac.smithies.me.uk]

Right now I'm wondering whether my toots with the hashtag #FreeBSD are blocked on the #BSDCafe Mastodon instance as looking at this search of the tag does not show my toot ????

https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD

[alelab@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@justine I can see your toot.
Maybe you mean about the search on the hashtag#FreeBSD doesn’t work your people hosted on #BSDCafe instance?

[stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@justine no, it's not blocked at all, but I confirm I can't see your toots when searching for the hashtag. I'll investigate.

[justine@snac.smithies.me.uk]

I mean I've my own #Snac instance but using the bsd.cafe instance hashtag search it doesn't show my tagged toot where it always used too.

[justine@snac.smithies.me.uk]

Thank you Stefano.

[stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@justine this works, anyway: https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@justine@snac.smithies.me.uk/tagged/FreeBSD

it's strange - maybe somehow related to the interaction with snac? I'll perform a test with my own snac instance

[kirby@freerobuxextremist.com]

@justine Could just be shoddy snac federation, apparently user actions that need to federate just get sent to *every* instance on your snac's peerlist. Probably won't be the fastest way to get things federated on a lower end VPS

[justine@snac.smithies.me.uk]

It's hosted on my own server at home which is more than capable and has always worked before. Nothing has changed config wise apart from #Snac updates.

[albert@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@justine it showed up in my feed fine via the hashtag

[justine@snac.smithies.me.uk]

Thank you Albert. 😉

[tfb@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@justine I found this by searching for the FreeBSD hashtag 🤷

[hl@social.lol]

@stefano don't know if it helps, but on the instance I'm on @justine 's first tagged toot appears in the tag feed: https://social.lol/tags/freebsd

[justine@snac.smithies.me.uk]

Yes thank you this does help as it proves that my toot is searchable by hashtag . Strange how it does not show on the bsd.cafe all of a sudden.

[stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@justine @hl yes - extremely strange. I'll test it ASAP.

[jdebp@mastodonapp.uk]

@justine

It's almost certainly not personal. It looks like some indexing is not happening properly.

Check out the #MeerMittwoch hashtag on the same node, for example. It claims 2 posts today, and yet lists the most recent post under the hashtag as having happened back on the 7th.

@stefano

[stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@JdeBP @justine true. I just tried to post from my snac instance - same, I can't see it. Maybe it's time to restart and reindex the elastic search jail

[justine@snac.smithies.me.uk]

I don't see it on your instance

CC: @stefano@bsd.cafe

[stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@justine @kirby not a snac issue but definitely a local indexing issue.
I'm reindexing and I can already see the posts from @justine with the FreeBSD hashtag from 23 hours ago, so it's probably catching up

[stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@JdeBP @justine The reindexing ETA is around three hours, so I'll probably leave it running and go to bed. But I'm quite sure it'll be okay. I should probably do this reindexing on a weekly basis.
