Are things broken? I know Lemmy 0.19 has some federation problems but it seems like more than that is broken for about the last week. (lemmy.world)

It seems like just recently, everything broke. Posts from some other instances (Lemmy 0.19 or kbin) aren't showing up here reliably anymore, and then sometimes posts from a few days ago will suddenly show up. kbin.social has a banner talking about unusual "problems" without going into detail.

Does anyone know what's going on or why? I've heard that Lemmy 0.19 has a problem where its outbound federation queue will sometimes die until it's restarted manually, but that doesn't seem like it should affect a lemmy.world <-> kbin interaction. Is it just Lemmy 0.19, or just lemmy.world, or are there multiple issues, or what gives?

Oh, just to add on to my previous comment to address the specifics: My guess is that feddit.de's outbound federation is not running because of this bug in Lemmy 0.19. It will probably stay that way until the queue is manually unborked somehow, and even then, feddit.de will probably not be able to federate real reliably in general until the fix is released and they upgrade. Without knowing too much about it beyond some guesswork that's my prediction.

Like I said in my other comment, I sort of prefer it that way. Call it the fediverse's version of the "good fast cheap, pick 2" decision. You can have one only of the following options:

You're the product people are making money off
It costs you money
It doesn't work perfectly all the time

I'm happiest with #3 personally.
