Hi cgKAF,

The update did not fix proper configuration of the cron job, for me. I had to manually add it as per your guide, following my installation from scratch (including creation of the domain to be used).

What the update did fix, is the ability for the worker to finnish its job properly. So once I completed the manual entry into crontab, federation started to work properly and my instance is now federated with 28 Friendica servers, a few Diaspora instances and many an activitypub based instance like Mastodon, Misskey, etc.

I guess the installation script needs a small update for the crontab config. Could be as simple as the user ‘running’ the crontab entry?
