Hey everyone, just trying to confirm something here. If I call `collect` on a SharedFlow and then call `delay` within the collect’s body, will it block other subscribers from retrieving emitted messages? My expectation is that it will because my understanding of flows is that they distribute messages synchronously through subscribers.

So something like this:

```myFlow.collect { 
  delay(300)
  doSomethingWith(it)
}

// elsewhere
myFlow.collect {
  doSomethingElse(it)
}```

Would the `delay` in the first `collect` have an impact on the second one?

depends on buffer and replay. I think the default will block emissions until all subscribers have collected, but other than that collectors won't block each other
