Just noticed that lemmy.sdf.org is on the list of domains causing traffic trouble for kbin for some reason. Considering we only have ~2.7k users I wonder if there’s some other bug going on.
Copy of the post here: Today kbin.social is blocking a huge list of domains just to get federation working again.
The reason for this temporally block is not to defederate, but rather to get the large backlog of 500k messenger queue processed again. Anyway, this does mean that kbin.social is federating again with other instances.
This is a temporary measure. Several users / developers are looking into how to better optimize the failed message queue, as we speak. Hopefully Ernest has eventually time to dive into solutions as well instead of workarounds, once his instance is migrated to Kubernets. See my preview thread: https://kbin.melroy.org/m/updates/t/4257/Kbin-federation-issues-and-infra-upgrade

My (relatively uninformed!) guess is probably bugs. When I think about how much more responseive the Lemmy web UI is now compared to just 2 weeks ago I imagine that there’s still a lot of optimisations that will emerge. Different bits of the system will be stressed.
