[planetary] Not seeing local peers or system pubs in connected peers list

[mplorentz]

I've been using the scuttlego build for almost a week now and I generally only see rooms or a single pub (the gardening pub) in the connected peers list. Before scuttlego I would usually see some of the system pubs, some room peers, and my other accounts on the local LAN in the connected peers list. I'm not sure if I'm not actually syncing with these peers or if there is something else preventing them from being shown in the sidebar.

Let's investigate the problem and then discuss what solutions might be or if they are necessary.

This issue does appear to prevent syncing.

I recently reinstalled Planetary and had it syncing again and showing connections in the side panel. Then I used some room server invites and now I'm no longer seeing anything in the side panel and also no longer seeing new posts in Planetary. The timing could be a coincidence but I think it's worth looking into.

Thanks for the report @quickdudley. We aren't spending much time on Planetary these days but this seems worth looking into. I added it to our inbox and we'll figure out the priority for it at our next planning meeting.
