I was a bit bummed because I had really started on lemmy.world and I didn’t want to lose my comment history, so I was holding out hope that the admins could get these problems resolved and voila, it’s magical how well it seems to be running

My instance server is now getting over 10 comments a minute delivered by lemmy.world, federation outbound is going much better.
