As per this post, it seems Lemmy World is having federation issues. I’ve had some of my posts and comments get suspiciously low response, so I’ve looked into it and it turns out that many of them aren’t showing on other instances.

Here’s an example: my Payday 3 post is only visible on Lemmy.world:

Meanwhile, in other instances, it doesn’t show up at all:

It’s not clear if this issue is exclusive to this instance but I thought I’d give people a heads up. I reposted and now it showed up in other instances. If you feel like you’re getting no response from other communities, check on another instance if your content is visible, otherwise repost it.

    Thanks for your reply. This site isn’t even a month old and the user growth is spectacular. Lemmy hasn’t ever been tested with these amounts of users.

    I’m sure the devs are doing their best in getting it all more performant. Meanwhile the team at lemmy.world is trying to get a grip on what’s happening with federation. There’s not much to be found in logs, anyone who can help troubleshoot this let us know. The only real adjustable setting is the federation workers. We’ve apparently either set that too high or too low. I’m gonna set the log level back to info on the hopes we get some queue stats…

    To be continued

      No worries, and I completely sympathize with the situation. My hat is off to you site admins, and the lemmy devs, for keeping things afloat these past couple of weeks, often at great expense of both time and money. I am confident that all of these kinks will be ironed out in the coming months, and in the meantime I am happy to have a few alts to hold me over.

      Thanks for the response.

      Most people here know we are in alpha. Shit will happen. Gonna take a while to get these systems ready to take over reddit.

      Back in my day 1 month old sites had 0% downtime and no reported glitches. 1 million daily active users! There’s no need for beta software either cause 2.0 was always the perfect release.

      Those were the days!
