Very likely has to do with the fact that lemmy.world is overloaded, combined with federation issues.
According to this real-time lag-o-meter, it looks like lemmy.world is taking ~100 seconds to respond.
Home of the sh.itjust.works instance.

Thanks for the reply. So basically there is no fix but to wait until lemmy.world somehow fixes itself?
That's a bummer.
The only real fix is for lemmy.world users to spread out a bit to more instances. We saw exactly this with lemmy.ml during the first wave of redditors, and it took the server crashing and staying down for multiple days for people to get the point that users shouldn't all be under one roof in a decentralized system.
It doesn't help that lemmy.world is the first recommended server on list of community servers on the introduction screen. People who don't know how this whole thing works (as I didn't when I first created an account on lemmy.world which I have since deleted), will just join the first server recommended which has a general and welcoming description.
I've had the same issue lately. When I first joined things worked great. Hopefully it's not too much longer before things are resolved.
