When my Mastodon instance was down I took another shot at Friendica. Here are my thoughts about it.

    @serenity @f00fc7c8 @rom This is the kinda speed problems I see with Friendica that I don’t see with other AP interfaces.

      @eshep @serenity @rom That’s not always because of a speed issue though. I usually see that on messages that were boosted or searched recently, in which case it’s no different from other AP servers.

        @serenity @f00fc7c8 @rom Good to know. I’ve noticed it mostly on post pulled in from hashtag follows. I thought maybe it could be something to do with how those are polled.

          @eshep @serenity @f00fc7c8 @rom If you’re following a hashtag you’ll see posts from people nobody on your instance is following and those won’t come in as they’re posted, but will be fetched as a side-effect of actions by people that are being followed.

        @serenity @f00fc7c8 @rom @eshep Exactly. Seems there’s still a lot of confusion about how federation works.

        My issue with Friendica is that it takes several seconds to render the “timeline” sometimes. Tempted to move the docker containers from the RPi that’s currently hosting them to my M1-pro MacBook.

      @serenity @rom @eshep @f00fc7c8 In my experience it is not because Friendica is slow. then Its because someone I follow just commented a post and then the server had to download the post whereas before there wasnt a reason to because i didnt follow the OP.
