@denebeim it processes all the messages, as well as doing long running tasks. if you stop it, pretty much everything stops working. not giving sidekiq enough workers is the most common reason you would experience federation delays or other severe issues

@denebeim @Mastodon sidekiq is a commonly used message queuing system so you could look up the docs on it, yeah. you can find a link to your sidekiq under administration in the settings page to see the web frontend for it that shows you stats on how many messages it's processing

@denebeim @Mastodon uses a message queuing system called sidekiq that handles passing messages around
