I'm not sure which post that is, but that's probably us. I know lemmy.nz and monyet.cc are also affected.

There are/were some useful grafana graphs hosted on lem.rocks, but I didn't really understand them (that's wayyyy above my pay grade), and some of them don't seem to work anymore.

Awesome comment here with a good rundown of the situation as well, as well as various bits of info every other time it's been raised here, here, here, and here. I know before the root cause was figured out, someone asked in the Lemmy World meta community, but iirc their admins mostly just ignored us. But to be fair, I think this was a while ago when they were having stability issues, so it's understandable.

It sort of killed Lemmy for me, as for a while, most posts on all only had a couple hundred comments and 2 or 3 comments without the LW communities

Yes, Reddthat too.

Okay, seems like it's still the same issue from a while ago. Sorry to hear, but another reason to move off Lemmy.world.

Is your admin on the Lemmy Admins Matrix chat? I know the Reddthat and Lemmy.nz admins are there, maybe they can help you out?

I believe what Reddthat did was setup a proxy tool someone developed. If I understand correctly, the idea behind it is that you'd deploy it to a server somewhere in Europe, the closer to the largest instances the better, that would receive all the activities one by one, then send them out in batches to the main servers, effectively fixing the problem until multiple activities can be sent at once. Perhaps lemmy.nz set that up, too?

Our admins showed a little bit of interest in it, but nothing ever came of it. Not sure if they're on the matrix, but I suppose at least one of them would be
