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.
I think it’s still an open issue.
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
I guess we’ll find out their perspective next week :)
When 0.19.6 is out of beta I’ll upgrade, then we’ll need to wait for LW and others to upgrade.
