TheDude recently upgraded the server to the most recent version of Lemmy. You'll notice significant improvements to the user interface, and hopefully the functionality is also improved. There is no official changelog yet because this version is not yet finalized, but I'll link the GitHub releases page where it should eventually appear.

Edit: 0.18.1 is now fully released and we have upgraded to the final version. You can view the link above for the changelog.
Hopefully this improves the lemmy.world federation somehow. Thanks for the update.
Is this why a community I subscribed to is multiple days out of date?
Is there a way to troubleshoot the problem? See if it's on our end or their end?
I'm hoping the recent updates both instances have received will resolve it.
Also make sure you're not relying on active and hot feeds. Top>day, 12h, etc is critical.
I think the problem with .world is just that they're too overloaded, but i don't really know anything so yeah, don't take me for granted
