The tool relies on community local subscriber count to unsubscribe and that value was not available from 0.19.0 to 0.19.3. I fixed the problem about 8 months ago but due to unfortunate timing, it didn’t reach prod from then.
In the end, the tool is working. The only problem is, it doesn’t know if it should unsubscribe on 0.19.0 to 0.19.3. So it stays in in progress state but still federates the community.
Once all instances upgrades to 0.19.4, it will work correctly both functionally and visually.
Also @[email protected]; the auto add feature is for adding new local communities to the tool automatically. With it, users don’t need to add their communities manually to the tool because it will do it automatically.
But the federation is not relies on that tick. If the instance is enabled, it will subscribe to all communities no matter if auto add is enabled or not.
I guess I need to improve the explanations cuz at this state it is so confusing :) Maybe a FAQ page could be useful.

I see, I thought it meant the manually added communities were put into a queue of some sort and each instance admin would manually choose when they get added. I’m glad that’s not the case. Thank you for clarifying and for the wonderful tool.
I’m not sure tbh. Pretty sure it’s run by the lemy.lol admin?

Thanks for the information - very useful. And yes, an FAQ would be handy, although if you wait long enough it’ll be less necessary.
Thank you for the update! Maybe you should make a dedicated thread with that info here, in [email protected] ?
It’s a nice tool BTW, thanks !
I was waiting for majority of the instances to upgrade to 0.19.4. I will make some changes in the tool too.
Yuri welcome 🙏
Sounds good, thanks!
