It might not just be lemmy.world, but several times recently I’ve made posts (usually to !helldivers2.lemmy.ca) that I check throughout the day. Then like 8 hours after I’ve made the post, I’ll see comments appear from people on lemmy.world that are several hours old.
It seems like there can be a queue that gets build up and then is suddenly flushed.
I see it happening the other way as well. This morning I made a post from my sh.itjust.works account and then switched over to a lemmy.world account and can’t see it. So the delay is going both ways.
Sadly that line keeps going up.
I don’t have much of an update but it’s really specific to outbound federation and just with lemmy.world.
ie: inbound works fine, outbound with other instances works fine.
Hmm sounds like it’s a problem on the lemmy.world side then.
Not necessarily.
Thing is, after a few consecutive failures, the next retry is now in a while (later tonight).
This retry spacing at least explains why it hasn’t gone down after the restart
