Thanks to a comment by @LargeHardonCollider@lemmy.world , I checked and saw that ‘Federation debugging’ mode was enabled. I had enabled that when the server just started (less than 3 weeks ago) and I had an issue with federation.
I thought I had switched that off again, but apparently not. This mode causes the federation to be done in the foreground, so your ‘Post’ or ‘Comment’ action will wait for that to finish…
This solves the most annoying issue, and makes the site way more useable. There are many other issues, but we’ll get there.
That seems to have solved the upvote issue as well!
So this instance was able to accommodate 33k users in debug mode, epic ! This deserves a meme :-)
My brain has also been operating slower than usual recently. Please fix.
Seriously though, keep up the good work! 👍
Nice!
The best part about lemmy.world is how open and hard working our dev team is! Thank you!
