Posts from a lemmy.ml account seem to not be federating to remote instances right now [RESOLVED]
EDIT: Looks like this is resolved now. For future reference, I had checked [email protected], but I didn't think to check the announcements community, [email protected]. I'll try to remember to check that space next time before posting. Thanks for chiming in, everyone!
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.
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)
