EDIT: Looks like this is resolved now. For future reference, I had checked !support@lemmy.world, but I didn’t think to check the announcements community, !lemmyworld@lemmy.world. I’ll try to remember to check that space next time before posting. Thanks for chiming in, everyone!
ORIGINAL ISSUE:
I’ve noticed the last two game day threads on !caps@lemmy.world have not federated from my home instance (.ml) to either of the remote instances I’ve checked so far (https://lemmy.world/c/caps and https://lemm.ee/c/caps@lemmy.world).
The .ml posts’ URLs are https://lemmy.ml/post/22823350 (from two days ago) and https://lemmy.ml/post/22885345 (from less than an hour ago).
The fact it’s affecting multiple remote instances suggests that maybe there’s some issue specific to .ml.
Searching recent support posts, I came across this federation health checker site, which indeed shows a spike in federation time from .ml to .world and lemm.ee, but it doesn’t explain the cause.
Does anyone know why this is happening? Also, will the content eventually catch up on those remote instances or is it lost to the sands of time?
Depending on the answers to these questions, I might need to start posting from one of my alt accounts on another instance.
Thanks in advance.
Your post showed up here just fine.
Oh wow - I never realised that lemm.ee had got so far behind. That problem seems to be in the past now, and posts will only be missing from there if they’re relying on world to send them.
As the post that Blaze linked mentions, LW is catching back up now (it’s only if the delay gets over 7 days that you need to worry about them being lost)
