I'm already seeing vastly improved performance, so I think the worst of the lag from recent updates is behind us.

Long time, previously a Schumacher fan and I supported Mercedes when Michael returned there.
If Newey or Horner writes a book covering this period one day, I'm definitely reading it. We need to know!

Yes, that's how federation works. Your local host may be faster than the instance you are browsing content on, especially if that other instance is getting hugged to death or DDOSed. But even if that is happening, the rest of the Fediverse works just fine.

No, instances are not mirrored. That's probably possible in activitypub (the protocol that Lemmy and similar Fediverse platforms use), but unlikely to happen due to server resources and funding.
Think of it as a bunch of forums on the Internet, where an account made on one forum allows you to comment and see content on other forums, but you don't need a separate account for all of them. Federation somewhat simplifies things, but there are drawbacks that I won't get into here.

How are Red Bull pulling in this kind of performance, and not cheating? How the hell does one team execute so well and the rest of the grid is not even in the same league? Geez.
My app on Samsung predicted possible thunderstorms, but it looks mostly overcast and mid-20 degrees.
Eh, I have mixed feelings about how the Fediverse welcomes people by not really explaining how the whole thing works, but people have found their way around in no time at all.
It's definitely a growing platform, but there are rough edges in the usability of it aside on desktop and mobile, and in many third-party apps like Jerboa.
