Federation seems to have its issues though, unfortunately. I created a post on lemmy.world earlier today (in [email protected]), and it took about 15 minutes for it to show up on lemmy.ml and sopuli.xyz.
If we consider something that is breaking news, 15 minutes is WAY too slow; there will be tons of duplicates posted from dozens of instances, even if they are posting to the exact same community.
That's most likely happening because of the over-centralization. If your origin server had been smaller federation to/from it and [email protected] would have been significantly faster. Having a no-nonsense "urgent news" lemmy instance act as a hub for faster federation would be a great value-add for the community as a whole.
