I know there’s been a few posts about this before, but it’s been a month since the last one and it’s still ongoing. It doesn’t seem that any of the LW admins responded to Zag’s post on their help community, and the last response from lodion/Nath I’m aware of was from 4 months ago when there were outright federation failures as opposed to just lengthy delays.
@[email protected] posted a comment on the post from last month about the delays stating that it’s an issue on our end as our server isn’t keeping up. I’m not sure whether this is the case or not, and I’m not sure how to interpret the Grafana dashboard they linked to, but as it’s a new reply on an old post, I wanted to note it.
Current federation delays seem to be around 7 days. It doesn’t seem to be affecting posts themselves on Lemmy.world communities, but does affect all replies to them (even from users on other instances), and all upvotes on the posts. [Edit: on further investigation, this isn’t the case. The current delays are at least 13 days, and this does actually affect posts too]
I don’t want to sound too pushy, since the LW admins and Lodion/Nath are all volunteers, but I was hoping we might be able to get an update on what the cause is, and if it’s an issue in Lemmy itself, if anybody’s opened an issue on GitHub and the developers are aware.
(NB: I don’t interact that much with LW, so all of my testing has been on the Boost for Lemmy community.)
Kind of bumping this thread, what is the status? Seems like you still have a week delay with LW?
https://grafana.lem.rocks/d/bdid38k9p0t1cf/federation-health-single-instance-overview?orgId=1&var-instance=lemmy.world&var-remote_instance=aussie.zone
Yep, sure do. Our instance admins didn’t seem super keen about the idea of a proxy server in Europe, and the Lemmy Devs still haven’t implemented batching, so we’re still enjoying our week long federation times with LW
Having another look at the Aussie.zone All feed, it seems that now you get the posts in real time, but I guess then the votes are the actions that get federated with a week delay?
Example: https://aussie.zone/c/[email protected]
Yeah, it’s been like that for a little while. Does kill all top day/week though
E: actually, comments on Aussie zone posts coming from LW don’t federate for a week either. I believe it’s the same story if somebody from AZ posts or comments in a LW community
Ahh, thanks for the edit
That’s sad to hear.
I’m really pushing for communities on other instances than LW to be used
That’s not much, but hopefully that can help a bit
