I am trying to follow [email protected] from my self hosted instance. When I search for it on my instance (with the “All” tab selected) I get no results found. When I go to the community https://lemmy.world/c/tenforward, click subscribe, enter my instance name, I’m redirected back to my instance, but there’s a “Cannot fetch [email protected]” error in the UI, and in my server logs I see this:
The webfinger object did not contain any link to an activitypub item

This is only happening for some communities, for example, subscribing to this community worked fine, and I was able to subscribe to other communities on lemmy.world. ([email protected] worked fine)
Any ideas why this is happening? Is this on my end?
You must log in or # to comment.
Several instances are fully choked up with federating content, some have weeks of backlog to overcome. Self hosted personal instances are probably all the way on the bottom of the priority list…
Is that backlog per community, or per server? Because I was able to subscribe to other communities from the same server. I’m not an expert on the ActivityPub protocol but I thought information was pulled from my server, not pushed from the remote.
