Could it be something to do with an instance running multiple servers, i.e. for horizontal scaling? Maybe there's some configuration problem where two servers are sending out the federation rather than just one.
Obviously if you only run one lemmy process (which I think most smaller instances do) then it's not a problem. But if you run more (which I'd assume lemmy.world does) then it could perhaps be the reason.
EDIT: Probably should've checked your links first as that seems to be exactly what is happening lol
I'm only running one process, I'd assume the problem isn't happening for Feddit.dk.
Perhaps. The lemmy.ca post has a comment in from the mander.xyz admin who's only running one, and there's a new comment in this thread saying mander.xyx is one of the instances they see the most duplicates from.
Sounds like there might be a bug in Lemmy then. Please open an issue in the Lemmy repo.
okay
Yeah, that's the conclusion I came away with from the lemmy.ca and endlesstalk.org chats. That's it due to multiple docker containers. In the LW Matrix room though, an admin said he saw one container send the same activity out 3 times. Also, LW were presumably running multiple containers with 0.18.5, when it didn't happen, so it maybe that multiple containers is only part of the problem.
I'm not surprised that it changed from 0.18.5 as the way that you spread the federation queue out changed significantly from that version to 0.19.
All the information is here but if you just run the same configuration as before 0.19, then you will have trouble.
