How to get servers to re-federate/re-subscribe after a time offline? (lemmy.myspamtrap.com)

Hey all,

My personal home-hosted server ran out of disk space and so went offline while I was away and I didn't notice it for a week or two.

This meant that federation requests (or subscriptions requests) went offline and now most of the servers I'm federated with are lagging. I'm only getting updates from a couple.

Is there a way to trigger federated servers back to life so I get the subscription updates? Federation does seem to be working, given some servers seem to federate fine and this post was via federation and has worked.

I worked out this was odd behavior on my OPNSense firewall NAT rules.

For some reason some syncing worked (eg. beehaw.org) but new connections failed. I'm not sure why. Maybe established sessions were kept alive.

Those rules haven't changed in months and months, so I'll chalk that up to "weirdness".
