Btw: 0.19.1, leading zero. It's not yet at 1.0 for a reason.

Lemmy has been feeling pretty empty the past couple of days. That just really goes to show how important federation really is.
I noticed that as well, thought maybe things were just slowing down, but it's good to know it was the software and not a sudden drop in community involvement. Since admins became aware of the bug and began restarting their servers as an ad-hoc fix, I've been seeing way more engagement on my instance.

Man, the one thing not to break. They broke it.
for the most part federation works just fine. there are occasional issues, yes, but it's not like it can't federate at all.
Does my comment reach anyone?
I’m seeing it on lemmy.ml.
I suspect the bug isn’t absolute, but inconsistent instead.
World here.

I would comment on this but since federation is broken....this won't be seen until the instance admin restarts Lemmy and federation works once again.
Federation seems to be working fine from where I stand?
Edit:
Edit 2:
Even the edit federated out to your instance fine...
I think it works for a while after restart of the server, and then stops working. Yesterday I was making comments that didn't federate until 12 hours later when I assume the instance admin restarted the server.
My instance has been uo for over 3 days since 0.19.1 update with no issues - very little load though
Yeah it seems to work for some instances with 0.19.1 but Lemmy.today has issues and feddit.de as well, just from what I've heard. Probably plenty more.
A while ago, programming.dev had a problem where nothing from the instance federated for a week. Lemmy felt so empty
Am I little naive in wondering how this isn't caught in unit, integration and E2E tests?
Edit: looks more involved than that, but it forced me to dig into how some of the components are tested. Educational.

Sheesh.
I'm going to set up a cronjob to restart the Lemmy docker container every 6 hours. That seems to be around when stuff stops working usually.
oof
Yup, absolutely nothing I posted from lemm.ee yesterday made it out into the wider world. In fact I'll probably have to manually federate this comment too.
Hopefully they can get to the bottom of it. Maybe next year we need a rule about releasing anything in December when everyone's too busy to bugfix 😅
Curious: what do you mean by "manually federating" a comment?
My other account is on .world so I can use search to forcibly pull things onto at least that server (search for the original URL of the unfederated post or comment and then wait a few seconds). Sometimes doing that will also encourage whatever it was to federate more widely to more servers, but that doesn't seem to be happening as reliably either since the upgrade 🤷♀️
A restart of Lemmy seems to fix it temporarily according to admin of Lemmy.today.
But it's inconsistent and stops working after a while it seems.
