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.
This does happen from time to time where the federation queue gets overwhelmed, usually with Lemmy.world for whatever reason. It appears that our outbound federation queue is really backed up right now.
@[email protected] just restarted the service so it may be working better now.
See our Matrix chat for more details.
Awesome, you guys rock!
