I have a lot of subscriptions, of which don't appear to be up to date.

Some communities, I see hardly no comments, and the vote counters never go up.

My assumption is the instance hosting the community is completely overloaded.

My instance, has gigabit symmetrical internet, 128G of assigned ram, and an entire E5-2697a v4 processor allocated to it (16 cores, 32 threads)

The worker count is turned up, but, in terms of my instance, it is basically sitting "near" idle, with a load average of < 0.30

There- anyway to speed up federation other then the instances hosting the communities upgrading their servers?

same, i have a small instance, only running 8 cores on about 32gb right now but could easily scale as needed. Don't even have 50 users and the edge is handling 60% of the traffic. I bet a lot of smaller instances could take 5-10x thier current user counts.

Best way to find instances with shared interests ive seen is : https://browse.feddit.de/

Go to your instance settings (in your case https://lemmyonline.com/admin), change "Federation worker count", double or triple it. Then make sure that "Federation enabled" is checked. Double check that your system date is accurate (I'm serious. On a modern system, just do timedatectl set-ntp true).

Iโ€˜ve read that lemmy servers always use UTC and the UIs will map them to thw actual date

indeed, ignore what I said tho, I misread your question :)

I have had it cranked up to 256 for a while now.

Didn't make much of a difference.

I can dig up some logs later.

Does anybody know if interaction prompts syncing? I feel like if I comment on something and come back a little bit later things look better federated.

I just added a link to it. I plan on cleaning up the post in the next day or so, and adding a lot more useful things to it (as- I myself, am learning about this platform as I go too)

Edit- sorry, got the context wrong. I was thinking of my introduction to fediverse guide-

https://static.xtremeownage.com/blog/2023/join-the-fediverse/

But- still makes a great link to include there.
