I get this as well. It's the pinned posts on the melbourne comm.

What it looks like on db0:

What it's (probably) meant to be like:

Don't know how or when this happened.

Can confirm that the latter is what it looks like on aussie.zone. Guessing it's some issue with federation.

@[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected] any ideas what's going on?

What a fascinating issue! No, I have no idea what's going on, here. It's clearly some sort of federation bug. The pin request is federating, but the unpin is not.

I've checked six other lemmy instances, they all have extra Melbourne Daily threads pinned. They each agree that

  1. Mar 22 2024 (Today)
  2. Dec 26 2023
  3. 26 Nov 2023

Should all be pinned. I don't know what November and December 26 have in common, I wonder whether they're Lemmy version upgrade dates? There was one at Christmas time, I'll have to double-check the exact date.

Beyond those dates, five of the six instances had random dates pinned (though two of them had 01 Jul 2023) still.

This isn't affecting aussie.zone users.

Upgrade dates might make sense, or it's a left over when aussie.zone was having a few synchronisation problems with servers that weren't on 0.18 at the time. They might have just not unpinned properly.

Is this a thread where posts are only allowed by mods?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

Sorry, just realised I mentioned you with no context about what this is. Anybody's allowed to post the daily threads, and anybody can comment in them. They get pinned until days end when a new one is posted and the old one is unpinned

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Then I don't know. There's a bug when the community is mod-post-only, but since it's open for all, it must be something else. You're not lagging however https://phiresky.github.io/lemmy-federation-state/site?domain=aussie.zone

Righto, thanks for checking. I'm not an admin, so I'll probably just leave it to lodion/Nath to check out. Thanks 0!

Yep, I basically get the first one on lemmy.world.

A Voyager screenshot showing multiple threads pinned, all of which are from this year. Almost as many pins as a cushion.
