Is KBin really slow to update on posts from other federated instances? (kbin.social)

The posts in Kbin don't seem to move much the last few days I've been using it, but if I go somewhere like lemmy.world the content is always pretty fresh

Is KBin just slow or is there something fundamental I don't understand about federation? (Likely)

How much data is pushed through ActivityPub? Unless it is at least tens of thousands of requests/events (i'm not familiar with how it works) per second I doubt that the choice of language would have big impact. PHP is made specifically for web backends after all.

Yeah. PHP is not a speed limiting factor unless you're calculating Pi to X million digits. Almost everything about ActivityPub is limited by network IO.
