Activity is currently not being federated very well across the Lemmyverse

Hiya. This isn't anything to do with pawb.social's operation specifically, but rather the entire Lemmyverse. With the release of v0.18.0, it seems like a regression was introduced and Lemmy's ActivityPub implementation is now a bit broken. Federation between servers is very dodgy, and may have something to do with different versions of Lemmy communicating, e.g. 0.17.4 <-> 0.18.0.

Edits, posts, upvotes/downvotes, etc are not very consistently federated, and I've noticed that there's been a lot of dropped interactions. Of particular note, Kbin hasn't received any of my activity in 4-5 days now, and Beehaw seems to also be struggling to receive or send activity.

More information about this regression is available here:

With 0.17.4 being a websocket nightmare, 0.18.0 not having captcha, and interactions being frequently dropped, we're sort of in a state of chaos at the moment.
