Comment on SDF outgoing federation seems to be stuck

  From my experience, lemmy.word can take hours to federate to no matter the instance. I think they might be using some weird shit for “last mile”.

    From experience sh.itjust.works sometimes has this problem as well.

    They also have one thing in common: Cloudflare

    Perhaps it’s getting “protected” from federation considered a DoS.

    Hours wouldn’t raise my attention. I’m talking days.

    I think they might be using some weird shit for “last mile”.

    Given that lemmy.world uses Cloudflare, I wonder if their server is overloaded enough to sometimes exceed Cloudflare’s 100 second timeout, triggering http-524 errors during federation.

    Would a federation problem on lemmy.world block propagation to slrpnk.net? That would be a weirdly inefficient network design.

    That’s an example of what I’m seeing right now. It’s abnormal.

    Can’t wait to see what happens when/if they move to sublinks. How much worse can they get

      How much worse can they get

      I think kbin.social showed us that overload can get much worse.
