Hello, i'm the admin from monyet.cc, and here we also faced the same problem, with the connection going from Singapore to other side of the planet is sorta hard for us to keep up as well. Lemmy.world traffic is just significantly higher than the second most active lemmy instance, hopefully the future update will solve this issue.

Fellow lemmings who can't read lemmy.world posts (in a timely fashion anyway) of the world UNITE!
If you're down for a bit of tinkering and paying for an additional VPS based in Finland, someone in the thread dhmo linked to wrote some software that can be deployed on a VPS nearer to where Lemmy world's servers are and will send the jobs in batches to your server which will massively help. It seems to be quite a technical and involved process, but if you were able to figure out how to get Lemmy set up, I'm sure you could figure this out too. Otherwise apparently the next major Lemmy upgrade will introduce parallel processing and sending, so that should resolve the problem
More info about the above tool here: https://aussie.zone/comment/9155614
This is a good comment under which to point out that aussie.zone is powered by donations, so if you have the means and like this instance you can help out with running costs here
The delay currently means that activities are taking around 7 days to reach aussie.zone.
That's some mega lag !
I have a couple accounts, one on Lemmy.world so I'll stay away from that.
Cheers for the work and the info.
Basically, jobs are processed in a serial fashion, and each job involves several steps of back and forth communication between the two instances to complete. Add in around the globe latency, and new jobs arrive faster than old jobs can be cleared out of the queue.
That is a terrible design for a global platform lol
Well if lemmy.world was broken into a bunch of smaller instances instead of the behemoth that is we wouldn't have this problem - but the reddit thing happened and here we are. Updates are on the way and you can always donate to further Lemmy development
Apparently delays over 7 days just result in the entire job being thrown in the bin too, so that actually means a lot of things just aren't federating here at all....
And tbf I don't think the Lemmy Devs anticipated thousands of people joining at the same time, so that doesn't help
Also there isn't meant to be a huge instance like world, the point of federation Is to avoid this, but users always tend to join big instances on federated services like lemmt and matrix and such
I can kind of understand that to be honest. I refused to sign up to Aussie zone for a while because I thought an Aussie instance would be too niche to attract enough members to remain viable and would collapse after a few months. Even once I realised there was probably enough activity for it's admins to want to keep it, I stayed on shitjustworks.
I knew that I didn't want to join any of the big instances because I thought they'd probably be hugged to death, so my first account was on beehive. But their email verifications and strict sign up requirements were confusing so I lived on shitjustworks for a while
This is a test post from an alt account to see if there is still a delay (Sent on 5/6/2024 at 1550 AEST)
Welcome to the future my friend
