We are federating the updates to accounts you follow + mentioned accounts, are you sure your Mastodon account follower state is proper?

loops-server/app/Http/Controllers/Api/VideoController.php

Lines 279 to 281 in 28420f3

	if ($config->federation()) {
	app(FederationDispatcher::class)->dispatchVideoUpdate($video->fresh());
	}

Hm not sure if I understand you correctly. It is not about accounts that I follow from my loops server, it is about mastodon accounts that follow my loops account. They don’t get updates to the video title/description if I edit it in Loops. It‘s a standard mastodon server running with the latest mastodon release, and it works with Pixelfed (if I edit a description of my pixelfed post).

I just tested it again:

1. Publish video on Loops and check from different mastodon account
2. Edit video on Loops and add new hashtag to description and video description
3. Publish edited video on loops
4. Update to video are not shown on mastodon, neither new hashtag nor the video description
