Feel free to upvote or downvote this, if you have a piefed.social account. I’m testing vote federation from piefed.social to my own instance.

I upvoted because today is rodent day. If it was lizard day then I’d have downvoted you, naturally.

These things are very well laid out in the manual.

PieFed batches the sending of votes between PieFed instances and sends a batch once per minute. So there can be a bit of a delay while a batch fills up.

Depending on how they have their cron jobs set, some PieFed instances only send a batch once every 5 minutes.

This dramatically lowers the amount of federation work an instance needs to do. If Lemmy adopted this method too we could all spend less on hosting.

That’s good to know. I was testing because the votes from this post including votes on comments never made it to my instance. I didn’t see any incoming “like” activities from piefed.social in the admin panel for a couple hours. After noticing I rebooted my server and I think that solved it, since all votes on this playground post came through.
