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. :)
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…
Well, at least it appears that they are aware of the problem, and one guy said he may have found a fix for it. There is a pull request open that might fix it, so hopefully, this’ll be over soon.
That sounds awesome. I really hope it fixes the problem, this is so frustrating. Thanks for the links!
