Activities behind for publishing to an old hostname for my instance before production ready (geekroom.tech)

Question for everyone…

Recently I got GeekRoom.Tech fully operational and federating properly. However, before full success, I ran into a lot of issues and at one point had the domain as www.GeekRoom.Tech.

As you can see (here)[https://grafana.lem.rocks/d/edf3gjrxxnocgd/federation-health-activities-behind?orgId=1&var-instance=All&var-remote_instance=geekroom.tech&var-remote_instance=www.geekroom.tech&var-remote_software=All] the www version of the instance still has a bunch of instances trying to publish to it.

What is the best way to resolve that? I assume that those instances are actively trying to push activities but are constantly failing, potentially eating up bandwidth for them.

Lemmy software resolves it automatically - it marks such instances as dead and stops sending activities to them.

How long does it take for that to happen? lol Seems like if an instance is a million activities behind that at some point way before then, Lemmy would stop trying to send activities.

I’m asking for myself too as occasionally I’ll see an instance or two that’s gone down and my instance keeps trying to to post to it…
