    @blog2read I'm no expert, but probably more info is needed: do specific groups fail constantly, or does joining 1 group need several tries?

      mk mk

      @mcscx I'm also running into problems when joining certain groups though not with that message (but the UI may hide the message, of course). Could be a StatusNet«-»GNU Social incompatibility or even incompatibilities between different GS versions/implementations. Maybe combined with other factors. Fact is, I cannot join the # group.

        @mk I guess there was already a # group on old-identica and your instance knows that group and tries to connect to identi.ca →

          @mk → even though you tell your instance to join quitter\.se/group/tea. This # problem seems to need debugging

            @mk I've jst been able to remote-join the !tea group from my Vinilox acct, so the culprit doesn't seem to be the instance hosting the group

            mk mk

            @mcscx that is certainly needed, even if (?) it's not the problem in my case. these things need to be morer robust, if things don't work as a result of something (still) sitting on an 'abandoned' server... maybe the code could try some fallbacks to work around problems like that. http«-»https can occasionally also cause problems with joining/subscribing

              @mk you can test this by trying to join quitter·se groups that were likely existent on identica (e.g. !wordpress), vs newer groups

                @mcscx hmm, there's an idea...

            @mcscx Yo when's StatusNet or whatever it's called now gonna do for groups what it already does for users and let you just join/post to !meatball@bandersnatch.sexy specifically when name conflicts complicate things?
