@panos cross posts themselves are not federated out because there is no established standard or FEP that spells out how its done. (Not that that’s ever stopped me before… but I digress.)
When a user cross-posts a topic to another category it will federate out an “announce”, which looks like a boost on Mastodon.
I’ve put some of those checks in here for me to look at.

Twissell hmm, chat notifications have always been delayed by a minute or so. Maybe less.
It is done so that subsequent messages sent within the same rough time frame can be batched together.
This is less of an issue with notifications on site, but can be an issue when you are emailed for every single chat message.
This is part of the balancing act that happens when federating with different types of social media. I think that it is a really good thing that you are taking into account that some posts will be more image-centric than others.
@willi@social.tchncs.de a VPS can be had from DigitalOcean or Vultr quite economically (although I know that isn’t always the case in some countries)
You can also use our referral link for an account credit too!
