Thanks for reporting the issue. I'm sure db0 will take a look when he gets the chance.
@dessalines@lemmy.ml could you restart your sender?
Thanks
Unfortunately, I'm not getting any response from the .ml admins here or on Matrix, so if anyone wants to reach out to them and ask them to restart their sender that would be great, as the issue is ongoing.
Edit: still crickets from .ml admins ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The issue seems to be caused by the latest rc from the lemmy sw which is installed in lemmy.ml. Unfortunately I'm not getting any replies on matrix
@Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com looks like the backlog has started to subside now. We will monitor until it normalises.
Yes, it finally dropped by ~65K. I hope the situation continues to improve. Maybe the incompetent Lemmy.ml tankie admins have finally managed to fix their instance. But they would never admit that it's an issue with their servers... It's quite unfortunate that so many niche communities are hosted there. Otherwise we (and probably other big parts of the Fediverse as well) could just defederate and would never have to deal with these incompetent fucks again.
To be fair, they are entitled to moderate their instance however they see fit, as are we. On the whole, it's good to have a diversity of instances in the Fediverse, because then you get to pick and choose which ones you want in your feed, according to your interests.
Having said that, I understand your frustration and share some of your concerns. There's a relevant post on .world right now on that very topic... https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/21652340
