One question I get asked a lot about bird.makeup is: How fast is federation (time between tweet posted and on your fediverse timeline)? And how fast will it be in the future?

So we did fall to days with the influx of new users, which is unusable. I'm working on a few simple changes to bring in down to hours, and in the long term I want to bring in down to less than a single hour. It will never be realtime though, due to how I fetch tweets.
