Lemmy World

There was an issue today with content from Lemmy World not federating to us. After pulling my hair out and testing the DubVee stack top to bottom, I got in touch with the awesome admins over at LW to try to figure out the problem. After they gave their federation service workers a good, stern talking to, we're now receiving content again.

Unfortunately, due to the amount of time (about 4 hours) the federation messages were getting stuck, there is a huge backlog that needs to catch up: about 90,000 messages. As of this writing, there are still 55,024 queued ActivityPub messages in flight (that includes backlog and current messages).

So just a heads up if you're not seeing posts/votes/comments from there or if they don't show up for a while. They will eventually arrive, though they'll be in the feed based on when they were published rather than when they arrive. On the bright side, they are receiving posts/votes/comments from us; you just might not get a reply ri
