  • Yeah, I gotta be honest, it works really poorly here, especially when viewing all/hot. It’s just constantly loading new posts and pushing down and off-screen whatever you’re trying to read or click. It’s frankly unusable.

    This type of thing should be a user setting, not a site wide setting, IMO.

    Yep, this is exactly what I meant. Just the option to disable auto post loading so you see whatever posts where loaded at the time you initially opened the page. If I want to see new posts, I can hit reload myself.





  • That’s definitely my main concern I have with this federated infrastructure. It’s basically the same as IMAP email: if the server goes down, your account and everything it’s associated with goes down with it.

    It’s a neat idea and has some benefits, but there really needs to be some sort of backup system in place. Maybe something like mirror instances, where anyone could spin up an instance with the sole purpose of mirroring another instance in case it goes down.
