Morning all! It does appear like we're not getting some instances posts (you can find a list by using https://phiresky.github.io/lemmy-federation-state/site?domain=pawb.social). I'm currently investigating and I appreciate folks poking on this :3

😂 We've given it a stern talking to and helped it recover through a restart, and image uploads appear to be working as normal again!
via here (I'm setting up an RSS feed monitor), via email (network[at]pawb.social), or with a DM message to highlight it. It seems like mentions in the original post don't alert the mentioned person, so I only got a notice when you replied to a message from me / mentioned me in a comment. >~<;
Media uploads should be working again. My apologies.
Media uploads should now work again!
We're investigating! Appreciate the report!
Taking a peek now, appreciate the heads up!
The server hosting the database crashed for a still unknown reason. Sometime around 5 am MT, the database server had a kernel panic and locked up, it’s been like that since then until we woke up to the alert this morning.
We’ve got a watchdog on the server and an auto-restart in case it hangs, and we’re working to migrate it away to a known stable server while we troubleshoot.
Honestly, like you said, I genuinely have no idea what the US will do; Currently things are being so shaken up that anything is plausible right now.
For outside the US, I don't really know what reach other countries have. The UK's Online Safety Act is the current one I'm watching for since that would require "highly effective age assurance" which... if the folks writing the law had been online like, ever, they'll have realized is an utterly stupid statement unless they plan to enforce integrating ID Verification via a Credit Agency (Experian, Equifax) which does personal question-based verification (which imo is a huge breach of user privacy since while WE might not know who you are still, the credit agency does and where you signed up).
Yes, several US states along with other nations have been considering porn ban laws, along with the rather blatant anti-LGBTQ stance of the currently elected US party.
In the works! We're planning to have some info very soon, though we're still building out an improvement for the NAS to allow us to expand the storage capacity for long term, high size file storage specifically for Pixelfed!

Evidence
Restarting the federation pods appears to have at least lowered the failure queue a little, but it's showing that while we've sent things to lemmit.online (as the example), it hasn't seen anything from them since 4/14/2025, 10:14:27 PM. So I'm presuming the next time they try to sync and send something to us it SHOULD update...
The federation state checker seems to be indicating that we're not behind in sending them posts anymore so outgoing should be fixed, but I'm unsure how to troubleshoot incoming further. I'm wondering if there's a bug with the latest version of Lemmy?
