@[email protected], this thread seems to be stuck as a pinned post on Lemmy NZ. I’ve unpinned it from the SJW end, but it seems that action hasn’t federated. Would you be able to investigate this?
I’ve unstickied it for you, which should unsticky it on other instances too. Not sure what the issue was, federation from SJW to Lemmy.nz seems fine, hovering around 1.5-2.5 minutes delay.
If it happens again, maybe try pinning it and then unpinning again?
