The PeerTube instance https://tilvids.com has some of the best videos on the Fediverse, but at the end of last year a freak software bug in PeerTube broke a lot (maybe most?) of its follows from Mastodon etc.
However, the bug has been fixed in the latest version of PeerTube! 🥳
Unfortunately, the existing broken follows are still broken and need to be fixed manually.
To fix these broken follows, all current followers should unfollow Tilvids accounts, wait a short while and then refollow them. (NOTE: This needs to be done even if it looks like the follows are already working ok. Follows that are broken due to this bug don't look broken 😔 ).
New followers don't need to do anything special, totally new follows made after the bug was fixed should work fine first time.

in reply to Liwott • • •Unfollowing and re-following seems to fix all these things, that's why it's important existing followers do this.

in reply to FediTips has moved! • • •What about the already disappeared comments? I guess they won't reappear by themselves? Could resharing do the trick, or shall one duplicate them?
Sorry for the avanlanche of questions :D

in reply to Liwott • • •Brand new follows made now don't need to worry, because they won't be affected by the bug.
I don't know what happened to the comments, I assume you would have to re-post them (on Mastodon this is easy with "delete and re-draft").
