Being in NZ we were also hit hard by the issue of federation being concurrent. To this day we are running an extra VM in Finland to batch up activities and send them in bulk to be replayed on the Lemmy server. I’m pretty sure I saw a pull request for that recently though so it might be fixed in the next version (but we’ll have to wait until Lemmy.world updates if I understand it correctly).
Fascinating, I didn’t realise the latency down there was that bad. How hard was it to get the process working across two distant servers like that?
Perhaps such a thing exists for Mastodon and could be applied to Lemmy?
Hmm, doesn’t look like it. The relevant source doesn’t mention anything, and a GitHub question from 2022 doesn’t mention a devoted feature, although there’s some publicly posted lists shared.
