Are all these thousands of servers useless?

Yeah, this is exactly my point. But I suppose a lot of people think that starting new instance is enough. But, unfortunately, it isn't.

Isn't it ironic.... that we all left reddit because 3rd party apps were being killed off, and came to a place where there are no 3rd party apps.

I read it and post from jebroa. At least latest alpha can do it.

Please elaborate, how is "every instance is sharing in the traffic to browse the fediverse". I didn't find it nor in AP standards, nor in activitypub_federation lib docs. If there is some mechanisms of balancing inside the lemmy's code, would you mind pointing it for me?

Ok, you are right about peering, I tried to get more peers to be faster, but it isn't necessary. I didn't find anything about ActivityPub broadcasting, but if it's true... so, yeah, having rpc p2p connection doesn't make the whole system less federated. But still, usually crypto clients has lists of nodes (or api balancers) for faster handling.

I think a amall hit of p2p can be useful. Maybe as an addition layer. I worked a lot with tendermint nodes (cryptocurrency) and i saw pretty effective solutions.

Huh, so the problem is about just serving static assets? TBH, I think this problem should be mostly solved, especially for such minimalistic UI. Maybe some (free) CDN? Also UI can use any lemmy server for most of requests (e.g. fetched federated_servers fom a bootstrap node) and use "logged one" only for user actions. I think it isn't a terrible difficult task for the current ui (it has it's own backend).

I'm on Galaxy Fold 3 and I preordered Pixel Fold. Tbh, I'm not happy with Fold 3 durability, but I belive in fold's future. Especially for work, or documentation reading. It can substitute my laptop in short trips.

Well, how is everyone enjoying the game so far?

Yeah. 3rd had more various and visually pleasing locations. I really want domething like jungles or the heaven. Didn't spoiled it to myself, maybe they are latter in game. But I doubt.

If you know how and want to do it. Unfortunately, it isn't the way how most people think.

Anyone want to collaborate on a new Lemmy UI? Built in Svelte
Reply in thread
I thought about Svelte + Tauri. Desktop but with Web flexibility. It also allows adding other fediverse as plugins.

Yeah, and this post about how to use some (a lot of) servers that are doing nothing to participate in "pros" while the top 20 of servers are suffering from these cons.

I'm around 40lvl, just started Act 3. It's a diablo, as I wanted to see it. It lacks some qol features. And sometimes its a bit tedious (maybe it's just about me getting older). I played barb and necro on beta. Now my main is rogue and it's not an easy point'n'click. I want more skill buttons (at least 5th for ultimate), but it's interesting to test different builds. So, I'm totally happy with this diablo. Imo, it's better than diablo 3 in many aspects. But a little boring visually.

Yeah, I'm a big fun of DIY ergo splits. I made myself a couple, but this is prebuilt wireless redox.

I know what you mean, but all nodes are equal, they are fully participating (stay aside validators). I mean every every node handles every transaction and can be faster than another (it doesn't matter due to validation scheme, but technically speaking all nodes handling every user action)

Yeah. My first is Parker Jotter and it's ok. But when I started writing with Pilot... It was like a heaven. TBH, I'm afraid that my second pen is the end game already. But I still want to spend a lot of money in a pen shop. Maybe there is some "even better" pen...

Yes, you are right. If this instance has members. A server will actively fetch "foreign" content and cache when this instance's user asks. But aside of top 10 servers, there is no profit of having more until they have a couple of dozens of users. If any server would have been able to "delegate" request handling to less busy servers, it will be a solution for this uneven load.
