It feels like the new update is slower than before. Anyone else noticed this?

Could be temporary maybe, or something that will be fixed in a update.

But i get timeouts loading pages even, and that never ever happened before.

    Well, interestingly enough, all of my posts and comments from the last 24 hours DID just show up on those remote instances.

    Not sure if you made any changes to the configuration, but if you did, it seems to be working.

      I did a restart of Lemmy software just now, so I guess that made federation start to work again. But Im worried now it will stop again at any time. Will post a question in AskLemmy and see if anyone else has similar issues.

        Ah, so perhaps there was a backlog in the database and the server wasn’t processing it for some reason?

        But yes I agree, the 0.19 release seems to have quite a few issues. Other instances have seen similar problems ever since the upgrade.

          Yeah I think the way outgoing federation works now in 0.19 has been rewritten to use a queue. So no comments or posts should ever be lost with this design, but there seems to be a bug causing the software to not process that queue sometimes I guess.

            Well, as long as a restart can get it to work again that’s at least something, but let’s hope the devs manage to find a more permanent fix.

              Back in the era of FidoNet and federated BBSes in the 1980s, it used to be that a number of BBS forums would only forward messages at night to save on telephone costs. I suppose a nightly restart to push out messages would be a bit of a blast from the past.
