How quickly do changes get pushed to the ActivityPub protocol?
How quickly do changes get pushed to the ActivityPub protocol?
Let’s say I hit submit on a post or reply, and then immediately notice a typo and edit it. Or I accidentally mis-swipe and downvote and then change it to an upvote.
In both cases, do both actions immediately get posted to the feed, or does the Lemmy instance wait a minute and combine (or overwrite) the actions so that only a single action gets published?
It depends. It seems like Lemmy batches up its activity to send to remote instances - so, per instance, it sleeps for a bit, then sends what it has. If both a Create and an Update are in the same batch, Lemmy just sends the Update. If they don't happen to be in the same batch though, it sends both activities.
