Parallel sending of federated activities to other instances. This can be especially useful for instances on the other side of the world, where latency introduces serious bottlenecks when only sending one activity at a time. A few instances have already been using intermediate software to batch activities together, which is not standard ActivityPub behavior, but it allows them to eliminate most of the delays introduced by latency. This mostly affects instances in Australia and New Zealand, but we’ve also seen federation delays with instances in US from time to time. This will likely not be enabled immediately after the upgrade, but we’re planning to enable this shortly after.

@Zagorath@aussie.zone @Nath@aussie.zone @lodion@aussie.zone , we're trying our best to use non-LW communities

And you know what? I don't feel like I'm missing anything. Lots of posts and comments to keep me busy for hours.

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 month ago

Ironically, the whole Lemmy activity makes it to you, just three days later

[-] ocean@lemmy.selfhostcat.com 2 points 1 month ago

How is that ironic?

What does this mean? Does it mean that a post from LW needs 2.98 days to appear on aussie.zone ?

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 6 points 1 month ago

Yup, exactly so. I'll often notice a reply to one of my comments from a LW user will only show up in my inbox about 3 days later.

Is this how long it takes for posts to federate? Why would it be so long?

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

FYI @mesamunefire@lemmy.world , and why I now try to use !fediverse@lemmy.zip rather than the LW version

Any idea how aussie.zone is hosted? Syncing can become bottlenecked as instances grow and discover more communities. If they're using a remote host they may need to upgrade or adjust their setup to hold sync with the larger instances.

Now 3.79

I know 😔

These are great charts, are these from the standard Prometheus endpoints in Lemmy? What queries do you use?

[-] Nothing4You@programming.dev 4 points 1 month ago

they're using my federation exporter as data source.

it's just scraping the federation api every 5 min for each included instance and then visualizing that.

[-] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 1 points 1 month ago

Thank you! I'm going to set this up for my instance!
