Hello Beehaw! I understand lemmy.ml is overloaded, but I wanted to see if there was a different explanation for why this is the case. Am I in a moderation queue? Is something on Beehaw backed up? Or something else?
It’s not a major inconvenience, this is just pure curiosity.
For the more “federated” actions on lemmy, I’ve found it’s better to cancel and retry after giving it just a short fair chance to go through. Many hours of “pending” seems to be a lie, as I’ve yet to see it retry and succeed automatically.
Do you think this is a Lemmy bug? Are retries not happening as they should? Or maybe this suggests that there’s no queue of “federated actions” and it’s really whether you get lucky when you make the attempt?
The developers of Lemmy have an open bug on problems with servers communicating to each other: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3062
I’m on feddit.de and I have noticed the same just now. So it’s not isolated to beehaw. I’m unable to subscribe to [email protected] right now (it’s still pending)
Thanks for the data point! So it’s probably something on lemmy.ml’s end.
