It sounds like you know more about ActivityPub than I do, but that seems right. My guess is that .ml and .world are so overloaded that there’s just a massive delay coming from them. It is kind of funny that, like you mentioned above, with my Lemmy instance I have almost perfect sync with Kbin servers but problems with Lemmy.
I’m hopeful that this is like Mastodon, where things calm down in a few weeks and there’s a smaller but more sustainable userbase.
For me, I have to do ‘url: “http://pictrs:8080/” ‘ instead of 127.0.0.1 in the config.hjson file
I also had to remove the tls line in the email section to get mine to work. I think this release is a lot more finicky regarding the config file, but it’s little idiosyncrasies don’t appear to be documented.
That being said, Lemmy is still kind of broken because I can’t even see this thread on my own instance and only see one comment on this one…
