    Lemmy will queue announcements to send to other instances with a max retry. Currently, I cannot view the pending queue. The queue is kept entirely in memory too.

    If a server is over loaded or the Lemmy backend restarts then this changes are LOST. It’s a terrible experience.

    This would explain intermittent issues but not consistent.

    I’m looking into the cause of this along with members of the community. I’m also working on a tool to attempt to resolve missed messages.

    I know it’s not perfect but the community is working on it. It’s a complex beast that needs some work. We’re working on it.

    I have a similar problem with three instances:

    I was able to post on all three. I haven’t been able to post on lemmy.world for over two weeks, and recently I lost the ability to post on szmer.info.

    I think there should be some kind of “handshake” between your instance and the instance of the recipient of your post. A notification that would tell you that synthing has failed.

    The issue is somewhat resolved. But older posts / comments aren’t syncing. If you edit your comment and save, it would show up.

    Or you can just post again.

    Without being able to post to lemmy.world, the experience is pretty much useless. Hope it’s fixed soon otherwise I’m leaving this instance
