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.
What does this mean? Does it mean that a post from LW needs 2.98 days to appear on aussie.zone ?
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.
i don't know if there's any prioritising of types of actions, eg. posts are given higher priority than comments which is higher than up/down votes but when I made posts on lemmy.world I'd get an initial wave of upvotes from other instances and then like 12 hours later a lot of upvotes from lemmy.world users
So like time capsules? I wrote this comment in my sunny office on Friday the 21st of April at 16:35 CEST. Spring is coming and the long awaited sun is lovely.
I hope you in the future have had a wonderful weekend.
No, your comment went to Aussie.zone directly as this is a lemm.ee community: https://aussie.zone/post/18681158/15483480
