It might not just be lemmy.world, but several times recently I’ve made posts (usually to !helldivers2.lemmy.ca) that I check throughout the day. Then like 8 hours after I’ve made the post, I’ll see comments appear from people on lemmy.world that are several hours old.
It seems like there can be a queue that gets build up and then is suddenly flushed.
I see it happening the other way as well. This morning I made a post from my sh.itjust.works account and then switched over to a lemmy.world account and can’t see it. So the delay is going both ways.
We are currently seeing a backlog in outbound federation towards lemmy.world.
Really, this graph says it all… 📈
I’ve restarted the containers, hoping it starts catching up.
Oh yeah, that looks pretty telling. Also, just wanted to say thanks for how awesome you guys are on the admin team. The work you guys do and how responsive you are is freaking impressive. Thanks!
Sadly that line keeps going up.
I don’t have much of an update but it’s really specific to outbound federation and just with lemmy.world.
ie: inbound works fine, outbound with other instances works fine.
Hmm sounds like it’s a problem on the lemmy.world side then.
Not necessarily.
Thing is, after a few consecutive failures, the next retry is now in a while (later tonight).
This retry spacing at least explains why it hasn’t gone down after the restart
