As you may have read in other threads, this version of Lemmy (0.19.1) seems to have bugs in outgoing federation on some instances.

As a temporary fix, we have added a scheduled restart of Lemmy every hour. It only takes a few seconds to restart, and the big advantage is that your comments and posts are only delayed up to 1 hour before they federate to other instances. You probably wont notice the restart even.

This will be in effect until a bug fix arrives from Lemmy developers, probably after new years sometime.

Thanks for reading and merry x-mas to everyone. :)

      Sadly, even with the scheduled restarts it seems like only about half of my posts and comments make it out to other instances.

        We had to remove the scheduled restarts since they didn’t work reliably and brought the server down. So they are not in effect right now. We do manual restarts a few times per day only.

        Still hoping for a fix from Lemmy devs soon…

            That sounds awesome. I really hope it fixes the problem, this is so frustrating. Thanks for the links!

        As far as I can tell, not one of my comments has made it out in the last 4 days. No replies, no votes, not visible on any instance outside of lemmy.today.

        Such is life on the bleeding edge…

        Edit: seems like at least some got pushed out, as I’m finally getting responses again.

          Everything is pushed out but only when we restart the server… Hopefully a fix for that soon!
