Is Mastodon eventaully consistent? (self.mastodon)

I've yet to make an account on Mastodon and I'm wondering, how good are its consistency guarantees? Do posts get lost? Will they eventually get to all federated instances?

From my Lemmy experience, posts do get lost here, from time to time. Is it the same on Mastodon?

In principle, yes. Lemmy, for now, only stores updates in memory, so if something goes wrong, they can easily go missing. How does Mastodon do it? I guess I'm asking about the implementation. I'm not familiar with Ruby...

Ahh, I can’t help with actual implementation. Sorry!
