There seem to be a lot of problems surfacing with federation in general. Some actions seem to be taking a very long time to federate - if they ever do.
Agreed, though my frustration is tempered by experiences watching other niche products and solutions being scaled up too quickly in a former professional life. My not-so-secret hope is that as folks like LJ Dawson and other 3PA devs build out for the fediverse their upstream contributions will help to create a better overall environment for users. I’ve seen some instance admins who are sharing local fixes to scaling issues and challenges with the broader community, so there’s a building momentum to make it all work better with the feedback from this crazy stress test.
Yeah I’m not upset about it at all. There are some annoyances - and I imagine the folks that are keeping things running are probably a little saltier about it, lol. It’s mostly just been little frustrations with things like federation behaving strangely, or mod tools not really being particularly user friendly or robust. But you have to expect that from a project with a team this small that has exploded as much as Lemmy has in the last month or two.
