How to get servers to re-federate/re-subscribe after a time offline? (lemmy.myspamtrap.com)

Hey all,

My personal home-hosted server ran out of disk space and so went offline while I was away and I didn't notice it for a week or two.

This meant that federation requests (or subscriptions requests) went offline and now most of the servers I'm federated with are lagging. I'm only getting updates from a couple.

Is there a way to trigger federated servers back to life so I get the subscription updates? Federation does seem to be working, given some servers seem to federate fine and this post was via federation and has worked.

Have you tried unsubscribing and re-subscribing to communities on instances that do not push updates? I think I did back then.

Yeah, I’ve tried that a couple of times too.

And run through all the federation troubleshooting steps in the docs.
