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. :)

    I can’t vote, comment, subscribe, or post anywhere at lemmynsfw. Is because it’s defederated here? Or is the cause because of the federation problems you’ve been seeing?

      Hi,

      It’s because of the very annoying outgoing federation issues we have now on Lemmy 0.19.1.

      All incoming data works very well but outgoing doesn’t get sent until a restart of the Lemmy software, and then only once after restart. We will do a quick restart a couple of times per day and then your comments, posts etc will federate but of course it’s really annoying with that long time in between your activity and others seeing it.

      Hopefully there is a fix from Lemmy developers after new years. It has a bad idea to upgrade Lemmy before Xmas, and lesson has been very learned, believe me. :)
