I started to notice that my posts get no interactions at all and that a lot of communities seem to be empty. At first I thought that it's just the effect of Lemme. ee shutting down, but after checking some of the communities from my current alt account I started to notice that .Dev does not pull the latest posts and does not federate my posts.

Do you mean in the very short term, or over the last few days or weeks?

At the moment It looks like programming.dev is suddenly falling behind reddthat.com. It's currently ~40 minutes behind and getting worse. @snowe@programming.dev @Ategon@programming.dev, FYI.

I'm not savvy enough to know what causes this, but it has happened before between instances. @MrKaplan@lemmy.world might have some insight.

Probably server struggling. Ie. It’s not got enough computational power to keep up. (Could also be network level bottleneck but that would be more visible if you access the websiye as well)

Whatever the issue was, it was short-lived. It's now back to normal and only a few minutes behind.

i think the graph might not be fully accurate for the current hour? looking at it now it doesn't show that significant of a spike anymore. i don't see anything in our logs about federation issues from LW to p.d in the last 15 days.

You should probably crosspost this to !meta@programming.dev

Thank you, I just did it.

Looks like your post didn't make it to their server.

I had the same issue on my single user instance after a Lemmy update last week. It fixed by itself, but it took a few hours, like the entire night.

Computational power or network bandwith was not an issue.

I don't think I have any federation issues (at least directly), but yeah I don't get replies probably because what I post is too niche. On 3 posts so far at least (~8 upvotes each) in 3 different communities.

Well, looking back most anything I post is probably doomed this way no matter the instance, unless maybe it's something more general or eye-catching on a bigger community.
