Just trying to figure out, the ping was similar therefore the notification I guess before it is processed to show.
--- mstdn.ca ping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 5 received, 0% packet loss, time 4018ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.054/0.075/0.111/0.019 ms
--- friendica.rogueproject.org ping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 5 received, 0% packet loss, time 4045ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.056/0.087/0.123/0.026 ms

A ping is rather useless in measuring propagation on the Fedi. As propagation is determined by which Instances can see each other. This ranges greatly from Instance to Instance. If no one on this instance knows or communicates with anyone on another Instance and both Instances are not on a common relay. Then they may never see each other directly.

This is a plus and a minus. This way the Instance is not bombarded by messages that no one on the Instance is associated with. Though you do not get propagation to these Instances either.

This type of networking can not be measured by a simple ping. It can tell you what Instance you are closest to in the terms of latency. Though it can not tell you how fast information will propagate between the two Instances.

@Unus Nemo I mean the instance you mean for latency indeed if you want in DM.

@plan-A

As I explained to you above the latency between two instance means little to nothing. It is vastly more complicated than that.

I don't know what either of you are talking about, but it has prompted me to update my notification settings.
I'm glad there are other people here, as I haven't gotten anyone I know to join here yet, but this conversation may be better done without me.
