TLDR UPDATE: Lemmy.world is ~9hrs behind and catching back up. We won't be making any more changes until this is completed.

Original Post:

Please be aware that we are undergoing some maintenance and configuration testing with our host. Instance performance may be a little unstable.

As some of you may know we've been troubleshooting sync issues with several instances but mainly lemmy.world. After a week of experimenting we were able to get everything caught back up and we are now working to optimize instance performance in a way that maintains the sync. The short explanation is that lemmy.world is running an older version of Lemmy that only processes about half the information an instance on a more modern build of Lemmy does per exchange. This leads to a problem where you must be able to match the sending rate of the largest instance or else they fall out of sync and eventually cause more problems as it falls further behind.

There may be a couple of extended restarts over the next couple days as we adjust and readjust to get things right. As always feel free to report any problems here or via DM. Your patience is always greatly appreciated, thank you.

After catching up over night we're falling out of sync with lemmy.world again today as their activity level picks up. We've increased the available resources and will be monitoring it today to see if any additional adjustments are needed.
