I'm just a humble country chicken admin, but I've been thinking a lot about the cost of the fediverse and how we can improve it for all of the instances... in a coop kind of way
The cost of handing all of the media is THE major problem for me atm.
We just published our first Trunk & Tidbits post! This will hopefuly be a monthly update where we showcase what we worked on last month, and what's coming next.
I hope this will bring more visibility to all the efforts and love that put on Mastodon
Hello fedi. i am trying to solve the "fetch all replies" problem once and for all that makes the fedi feel a lot more desolate and with a lot more reply guys in it than it should be. this is take two, where before i had it triggered by a button, but now i think it should happen on the server-side whenever you expand a post. can anyone help me out figure out how to make this more efficient by only fetching posts that the server doesn't already have? i am not sure what the best strategy would be, and if anyone with experience doing efficient rails and SQL stuff could give me some pointers that would be gr8. the patch is actually extremely simple it just needs a few nice things to make it not DDoS everyone.
Has anyone connected to @Mastodon been working to switch from Redis since they went closed source? What's going to be involved in moving to a drop in replacement?
@CWSmith i don't think I have anyone official in my direct follow relationships unfortunately, but I want to know this too because it seems VERY important. I hope we get an answer. Adding some tags for more visibility.
Now deployed on #PhanpySocialDev (dev.phanpy.social). Media-first UI experience only kicks in for #Pixelfed account log-ins. Basic features work, except:
Local and Federated timeline show the same thing
Trending, Bookmarks, Reply, Lists, and Filters don't work
