@gaming noticed this feed slowed down once those two servers were defederated. But I could just be imagining things
A portion of the feed was made up from a user posting articles to this feed from one of the other instances. They generated a bit of discussion, but mostly it was lower effort links.
@The_Hunted_One that makes sense, I noticed a lot of the same happening on the kbin and Lemmy instances like fedia and feddit
