    lemmy.world is the most popular instance, it has the most people, it has the many of the most popular communities and hence most posts and comments.
    It’s been struggling under the load of federation and I’m noticing lots of my messages aren’t being transferred.
    So I responded to your message about fucknestle at about midnight last night.
    This morning I noticed that whilst it was visible from the lemmy world instance, it was not visible from the aussie zone instance.
    So I modified it with that extra line.
    Which made the federation queue attempt to send it again.

    Lemmy is having teething issues, which is to be expected of Alpha software that is experiencing explosive usage.
    I write software for a living, and it doesn’t matter how much I test my software in development, certain bugs don’t show up until you’ve done a specific action for the 10000th time in a production environment.
