I noticed that for a week or so now the community has been much smaller tham it used to be. I’m seeing an almost 90% decrease in posts, comments, and votes. Did something get defederated or did a big community go down? Lemmy stats show that Lemmy average user count is still about the same.
reported to meta. It looks like this is not the first time this kind of issues happen with between instances https://sopuli.xyz/post/9076347?scrollToComments=true
Edit: it seems i can’t link it to meta since your post did not federate to dbzer0.com; it would be helpful if you put the links in your post for help with troubleshooting
happened 2 times on dbzer0.com too, with 2 different issues, one on lemmy.worlds side, the other on dbzer0;
i’ll link both of them in your post in meta for referencehttps://dbzer0.com/blog/post-mortem-the-massive-lemmy-world-lemmy-dbzer0-com-federation-delays/ https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/18235543
Thanks, forwarded this post-mortem to my current meta question.
@[email protected] did a great job with that post mortem and showed up a lot of places where federation could choke. Seems there is not much troubleshooting information easily available for lemmy admins, i hope it helps.
