I’ve noticed that the issues above are becoming increasingly notorious across the entirety of the Fediverse. What’s being done to mititage those issues?

Despite what some other people falsely claim here in the comments, scraping is actually not the same at all as federation. Besides not being reciprocal, scraping puts considerably higher load on the server to the point where it brings down entire servers or at least severely degrades the performance for legitimate users.
Depends on the federation model. For lemmy I assume things like comments aren’t pushed automatically (?) until the thread is opened, but in some models the instances pull all new content from at least the known accounts / spaces from known servers (I think regular Mastodon does that)
