federation issue to instance - eviltoast

I cant seem to get timely post federation to my instance (moist.catsweat.com) from lemmy.world. I might see a new post every few hours instead of every minute or so.

posts from other lemmy instances (lemmy.ca, lemmy.ml, dbzer0, etc) have no problem.

i see a ton of lemmy.world traffic in my nginx logs… it seems very specific to ‘new posts’. voting/comments seem to come through no problem once the post shows up.

ive checked a few other instances similar to mine, and they are not having this issue. so it seems something specific to lemmy.world and my instance.

i do recall a similar issue several months back, and it involved a lemmy.world admin resetting some outbound queue.

any ideas?
