Thanks for sharing your perspective. I do politely disagree with the statement it wasn’t that big of an issue, as from what I could see, it completely prevented every Imgur image post from loading, thumbnail or not. Perhaps you mean the pictrs troubles (which are still intermittently happening, but primarily affect thumbnails and although annoying aren’t dire)?

It’s not a time issue

But the point is that one wasn’t a time problem.

Perhaps I’m mistaken, but Lodion specifically mentioned it was a time not financial problem when asked 3 months ago. I’m pretty sure there was a similar response when it was asked previously, as well

When the LW lag issue was previously discussed, my main constraint was (and still is) time. Longer term it would have been a financial concern.
Either way, the issue has cleared up now due to a number of factors, none of which required time or finances on our part. I call that a win.
Worth noting, LW have still not upgraded their instance to the version that introduced multiple sending threads to a remote instance. If their volume of traffic were to increase substantially again, we could “lag” again.

  I’ve been following this from far away, what were the factors that solved the issue if LW didn’t update?

    The volume of activity from LW reduced, and it also looks like they made some config changes on their side… at a guess more federation worker processes, allowing an almost constant stream of activity to be sent to AZ.

    I see, makes sense
