I thought the recent patches were supposed to fix the slow federation, but we’re still not getting comments or vote tallies through for over a week.
lemmy updates did some improvements on the receiving side, parallel sending on the sending side is not yet part of a new release. it’ll also likely take some time for that to be deployed on lemmy.world to have those changes be tested by other production instances first. my activitypub-federation-queue-batcher is currently used by at least 2 other high latency instances and would address the issue at the cost of a small (like 3 bucks or so) vps in Europe and some time investment for the setup.
Money isn’t the issue, it’s time. I’m time poor, simply don’t have time to set it up.
When 0.19.6 is out of beta I’ll upgrade, then we’ll need to wait for LW and others to upgrade.
Smart
I think it’s still an open issue.
Closed with this PR 15 hours ago.
I guess we’ll find out their perspective next week :)
LW is going to skip 0.19.4 and 0.19.5
Lemmy.ml currently has 0.19.6 beta, so hopefully at some point it gets released and LW updates
