I just realized I can't see my own posts in the Home timeline.

[epp@social.vivaldi.net]

@TyrionTargaryen I can see mine. Hmm.

ping @thomasp

[tyriontargaryen@social.vivaldi.net]

@epp @thomasp

Huh, I can see your reply only because I was checking on my profile. I'm getting no notifications otherwise. I also don't know if anyone has replied to the other post.

Edit: notification came 1 hour later

[epp@social.vivaldi.net]

@TyrionTargaryen @thomasp I've noticed a delay in the e-mail notifications. Not sure why this is.

[tyriontargaryen@social.vivaldi.net]

@epp @thomasp

Yeah, I remembered an hour or two ago that yesterday I received an email notification from a reply from the day before.

This was after the server upgrade, so I wonder if the 4.3 version has some sort of problem somewhere that is backlogging or delaying things.

[bobdendry@masto.fediverse.games]

@TyrionTargaryen @epp @thomasp it sounds like their sidekiq queues may be running behind or hitting a bunch of dead requests.

@BobDendry @epp @thomasp

Could this be affecting the instance beyond the emails?

So far I've noticed:

- delayed emails
- delayed Notifications
- delayed Home timeline
- most posts show up at around 1 hour (Edit: seems to be starting at 28 minutes now)
- my posts generally show up at 1 hour, but sometimes they show up in 30 minutes
- the LOCAL timeline seems to work fine
- the Federated timeline shows a mix of real-time posts and posts with 28 minutes of delay

[bobdendry@masto.fediverse.games]

@TyrionTargaryen @epp @thomasp sidekiq handles all the server jobs, sending emails, push notifications, going to other servers to get posts, etc.

Local posts should go straight into the database (I think) so they shouldn't he affected by sidekiq issues. But your own posts should be included in that

I'm no expert though, I'm new to the whole #MastoAdmin thing

@BobDendry @epp @thomasp

Hey, you know more than I do! I don't run my own instance.

I know the theory of how the Fediverse works, but the tools being used (I had to lookup what "sidekiq" was, lol!), or how to specifically administrate an instance, I have no clue about that stuff.

What you say makes a lot of sense, though. Thanks a lot for explaining it.

[thomasp@social.vivaldi.net]

@TyrionTargaryen @BobDendry @epp It's certainly possible that there was some delay in the Sidekiq queues. We can look into whether we need to add more resources there. As for email delays, that is something we know was broken for a while after the upgrade, but that should be back to normal by now.

[tyriontargaryen@social.vivaldi.net]

Seems like it got back to normal last night. Thank you!
