tune your server based upon its users and the other servers it federates
with.

that we need data and insight from those installations to help optimise it more.
Federating
Federation
----------
Environment Variable:
ActivityPub, as a federated protocol, involves talking to a lot of other
servers. Sometimes, those servers may be under heavy load and not respond
when Takahē tries to go and fetch user details, posts, or images.
* ``TAKAHE_REMOTE_TIMEOUT`` is the number of seconds Takahē will allow when
making remote requests to other Fediverse instances. This may also be a
tuple of four floats to set the timeouts for connect, read, write, and
pool. Example ``TAKAHE_REMOTE_TIMEOUT='[0.5, 1.0, 1.0, 0.5]'``
There is a ``TAKAHE_REMOTE_TIMEOUT`` setting to specify the number of seconds
Takahē will wait when making remote requests to other Fediverse instances; it
is set to 5 seconds by default. We recommend you keep this relatively low,
unless for some reason your server is on a very slow internet link.
This may also be a tuple of four floats to set the timeouts for
connect, read, write, and pool timeouts::
TAKAHE_REMOTE_TIMEOUT='[0.5, 1.0, 1.0, 0.5]'
Note that if your server is unreachable (including being so slow that other
servers' timeouts make the connection fail) for more than about a week, some
servers may consider it permanently unreachable and stop sending posts.
