Global directory
!Friendica Support
Das globale Verzeichnis für #Friendica ist ja seit längerer Zeit defekt bzw. tot.
Ist da überhaupt eine Reparatur geplant?

Du meinst weil alles Server "outdated version" sind? oder was ist kaputt an https://dir.friendica.social ?

@Tobias
Allow your profile to be searchable globally? Activate this setting if you want others to easily find and follow you. Your profile will be searchable on remote systems. This setting also determines whether Friendica will inform search engines that your profile should be indexed or not. Your profile will also be published in the global friendica directories (e.g. https://dir.friendica.social).

Ich kann das drehen und wenden, wie ich will, es funktioniert einfach nicht. Ich bekomme mein Profil nicht in dieses Verzeichnis.

@alfredb
Hast Du unter /admin/site "Erweitert" auch das hier aktiviert?
Tuxi :Friendica: 🐧 ✅
@alfredb
Hm, okay. Dann keine Ahnung wo man da noch was drehen könnte. Sorry.
alfredb
@Tuxi :Friendica: 🐧 ✅ Mich wundert vor allem, dass das offenbar niemanden stört. Ein über Monate kaputtes bzw. geschlossenes Hauptverzeichnis ist nutzlos.
Tobias
@alfredb vielleicht bist du auch einfach der erste der sagt, dass da was klemmt?

@Hypolite Petovan there seems to be something wrong with adding new accounts to the global user directory.
Hypolite Petovan
@Tobias @alfredb I've been contacted by @Raroun [Backup] to tell me the directory was down but I couldn't confirm it this morning. I'll need more details about what doesn't work.
Tobias
@Hypolite Petovan as I understood @alfredb he tries to add his account into the global directory, but it is not done. He needs to add the rest of the missing information :)
alfredb
@Tobias @Hypolite Petovan I still think, the directory is no longer updated. As we can see, there are many servers tagged with "outdated version", but eg libranet.de is running 2024.03-rc, what I would never name "outdated version".

I've installed my one-man Friendica in late July last year, set up everything for publishing the server and my profile as well. But up to now, none of theme were published in the public directory. Somewhere in the admin panels, there is a button “Republish users to directory”, what didn't help either.

@Hypolite Petovan @Tobias

After some debugging, I noticed that my profile was indeed submitted to https://dir.friendica.social and got a response of 200 OK.

See some details here.

Nevertheless, you guess it, I'm still not mentioned in the directory.😥
Hypolite Petovan
@alfredb @Tobias Thank you for looking into this!
Hypolite Petovan
@Tobias @alfredb After a cursory inspection, it appears I didn't restore the cronjob when I moved server last year. 😅

I restarted it, but the queue is massive, so it may take several days to clear it.
alfredb
@Hypolite Petovan Thanks for that. I'll stay tuned.

@alfredb @Tobias To give you an idea of the speed:
2024-03-06 19:26:01 - NOTICE {"uid":"31d378b"}: Directories polling queue size: 0 []
2024-03-06 19:26:01 - NOTICE {"uid":"31d378b"}: Servers polling queue size: 2339 []
2024-03-06 19:26:30 - NOTICE {"uid":"31d378b"}: Profiles polling queue size: 61467 []
2024-03-06 19:27:01 - NOTICE {"uid":"bd71f6d"}: Directories polling queue size: 0 []
2024-03-06 19:27:01 - NOTICE {"uid":"bd71f6d"}: Servers polling queue size: 2330 []
2024-03-06 19:27:30 - NOTICE {"uid":"bd71f6d"}: Profiles polling queue size: 61404 []

9 servers and 63 profiles processed per minutes, this means that in theory the queue will be cleared in about 1 000 cronjob runs, accounting for the additional servers and profiles added to the queue in the interval. Given the cronjob runs every minute, it should take about 17 hours to go through the queue.

Thank you for your patience!

Great, I'm in. Thanks for fixing this.

@Hypolite Petovan my two instances and all users are still not displayed on dir.friendica.social

sekretaerbaer.de / friendicadev.sekretaerbaer.de
alfredb
@OldKid The directory is fully opt-in. You're sure you and your users have enabled everything related?

@Hypolite Petovan
OldKid
@alfredb @Hypolite Petovan Yes, I've also triggered the republication of each of the last two days. And last week both instances were still in the directory. Now all instances in the directory are labelled as "Outdated Version" again, but this may be because git.friendi.ca is down. Also, there are only 191 servers listed in the directory at the moment, which is far too few in my opinion.
alfredb
@OldKid Yeah, I saw the "Outdated Version" labels as well. The directory still seems to be under construction.

@OldKid @alfredb Hi, I ran a manual probe of your server but it returned 403 Forbidden, which is a hint the BlockBot addon may be blocking the Friendica Directory automated probe. When the probe is unsuccessful for any reason, the server and its profiles are pulled from the directory until the next successful probe,
alfredb
@Hypolite Petovan I don't have the BlockBot plugin enabled.
@OldKid
Hypolite Petovan
@alfredb @OldKid I ran a manual probe for both your server and your profile, both were successful and both appear in the directory:
- https://dir.friendica.social/search?q=alfredb
- https://dir.friendica.social/servers/en
alfredb
@Hypolite Petovan Yes, I know that it works for me, I didn't complain. I just replied because you have tagged me in your previous message. The server in question is from @OldKid.
Hypolite Petovan
@alfredb Sorry, I thought you had the same issue as they have, which is that their server and profile aren't displayed in the directory.
