Federation issue with lemmy.world (lemmy.ca)

This could be happening with other instances but I've only seen it with lw. Occasionally I'll make posts into lemmy.world communities that just don't federate. It's not delayed federation -- the post always exists in that community but only on the copy of it here and only Lemmy.ca users can see it and interact with it. It's kinda like a secret Canadian version of the community, I guess.

It's more of an inconvenience because it happens fairly infrequently but is this a known problem? Is it resolvable?

Edit: this just happened with the last story I posted to c/world. When it wasn't on the actual l.w page, I deleted it, reposted it, and it worked fine. In the past though, there have been stretches of up to a few hours where nothing makes it off the server.

yeah we would have to look through our logs to see for sure what's going wrong here.

according to this, as of this post: https://phiresky.github.io/lemmy-federation-state/site?domain=lemmy.ca

they are 136 activities behind, which may explain we you are seeing the inconsistencies? and as Rentlar mentioned, it could be also because they are behind on their version too.

edit: they also appear to be having intermittent issues too, which probably isn't helping federation either.

This is happening again right now. Unable to post anything to !news@lemmy.world for the last hour.

Edit: actually, nevermind. For some reason I just can't post this CBC story. It's visible here but won't post to lw. Strange.

hmm that is weird. hopefully things get better when they upgrade their lemmy version.
