Sorry! My bad, numbers are incorrrect but I'm not sure how to calculate correct numbers lol. Wouldn't it be 700x699 or 699x699 because instance wouldn't have to federate with itself?

oh yeah, it is n * (n - 1)

bc ~700 bots need to do ~700 minus 1 actions

a continue inside an if statement checking if the bot domain is the same as the subscribing one would suffice
