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.
Ironically, the whole Lemmy activity makes it to you, just three days later
How is that ironic?
maybe not irony but it is funny op said i don’t feel like i’m missing anything! and it turns out they’re not it’s just delayed
True! Just outdated
