When I post a new story on my main website: [billbennett.co.nz ](billbennett.co.nz ), it pings Micro.blog which, in turn, works Fediverse magic to ping Mastodon and BlueSky.

What’s interesting is that Micro.blog picks up the ping immediately. Even when at its slowest we are talking about a few seconds.

On the other hand there are always delays going from Micro.blog to Mastodon and BlueSky. Usually a few minutes… but they can be much longer. The worst I’ve noticed is around 100 minutes.

I’d be interested if you have any insight into why this can be so variable.
