#MastodonSocial - heads up!
Mastodon.social's posts are not federating out in a timely fashion because another instance is lagging, which is causing mastodon.social's delivery jobs to pile up. Right now there are about 300,000 delivery jobs waiting to go out, but they're reliant on that one instance not taking 10 seconds to respond to every request.
There's not a whole lot m.s can do except wait it out; hopefully this will be resolved soon.
@noelle how does this happen? I have no idea how the protocol works but shouldn’t it like idk connect to another instance instead
@jordyd In theory, yes, but a given masto instance only has so many workers it can deploy, and when they /all/ get tied up trying to connect to a single other instance...
