I thought Lemmy supported horizontal scaling for federation activities.

Wondering how many instances of the federation server reddthat is running and if increasing the number does anything for the issue.

Edit: It seems that 0.19 started synchronizating activities, so horizontal scaling is out of the question.

It does. But only outbound. So we have 2 containers for federating outbound. It splits the list of servers in 2. Then each process sends out the queries. This is good for when you have a lot of servers federating with you.

But currently when accepting activities from 1 instance it is only 1 thread and it is only sequential/chronological order.

Just FYI, I have suggested to the moderation team of !casualconversation@lemmy.world to consider moving the community to another instance so that you guys can still participate.

The technical issue might still be there, but I guess that can be a way to avoid overworking LW
