    Is there problems between Aussie zone and Lemmy world instances? I’m out of the loop on that one. I don’t use Lemmy heaps. I was looking for friendly social places to avoid awful reddit behaviour, but ended up finding some similar things on Lemmy last year so deleted my account. But now I’m back but engaging less. Perhaps I should have got an Aussie.zone account instead.

      The issue isn’t specifically between aussie.zone and LW. Its actually federation of large numbers of activities to a remote instance at “high” latency. Due to the way lemmy works, only ~3 to 4 activities can be sent from one instance to another per second (not 100% accurate, but close enough)… Activities in excess of this are queued for sending.

      The most recent version of the lemmy server software (0.19.6) adds the ability for admins to send multiple activity streams at once. This should greatly improve the rate at which activities are federated… but requires the sending instance (LW) to upgrade and enable the feature. FWIW I’ve already upgraded aussie.zone and enabled this feature.

      (posted from my LW @ 17:55 11/11/24 AWST for testing)

      edit: you’re welcome to sign up at aussie.zone if you like, though once LW is upgraded you’ll be able to interact with AZ just fine from here.

        Thanks mate. I might do that as this seems like a nice part of the fediverse.
