Hi,

Thanks for your suggestions!

I can confirm that an update was performed yesterday to 0.19.0 yesterday / today. We hit some issues during the upgrade, but these have now been resolved and CompuVerse is running 0.19.0.

I can also confirm that we now have a Matrix server! I will post an announcement shortly, but for reference, the homeserver is now located at https://conduit.compuverse.uk/

We have a client hosted also on https://chat.compuverse.uk/

Feel free to join! :)

Thanks, Cameron

Hi @Flipflop@compuverse.uk,

I think the issue here is likely that any activity that occurred in the rest of the Lemmyverse whilst this instance was offline was never federated to us, so this instance doesn’t know about the comments or which were posted before it came back online etc.

This will be problematic right now since lots of active threads will have been created or had comments and votes prior to this instance coming back online, but I believe any new content should come through correctly.

I am investigating federation issues.

Do you have any exact examples which I could use as a starting point to investigate this please?

They would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks,

Cameron

Hi, thanks for your support of Compuverse.

I have just posted an announcement regarding this downtime and aim to improve things for future.

We came back online after resolving the host issues a couple of days ago.

This is a good question, I’m not actually sure to be honest with you.

So far I’ve heard nothing about the main project receiving any sort of threats, and even the Steam page wasn’t officially DMCAd or the like. It was more of a threat saying they WOULD officially DMCA if the project wasn’t taken down.

It’s very interesting that it was played like this rather than just officially issuing a DMCA takedown request. Almost like they weren’t 100% convinced the official DMCA would actually hold up?
