The basic service gets overloaded quickly and you'll need to upgrade if you get any traction at all.
Also, since KBin federation is broken, it's not great
So... Scientology, but with more Zuck
What do you mean "quickly?"
That's correct and that's the problem. If a given community server goes down, that community basically just becomes an archive. It really needs to be able to continue without the host instance, similar to how a mesh works. Each remaining server routes around the dead node.
There is also the problem of search engine indexing... If a given server goes down, that information is lost to the search engine, even though it's still on other nodes.
Which also leads to duplicate content problem for search engines, as ECU m each node of a given community contains the same information for a given post, making it crappy to index and search.
Indeed, and when you kiss someone you are making one big hole connected by two assholes.
That's changing the AP protocol, which is a huge undertaking, as it affects everyone in the Fediverse at that point, requiring new code to whatever platform that they are using. I think that's the hardest route to go down.
Its does let people see that their comment has been seen as is unpopular, compared with just unnoticed. I'm okay with that style of downvote being private.
I think that's the fundamental problem though. Just because a comment is unpopular doesn't mean it's not valuable or even correct. It's often the unpopular opinions that are the most important. No always, obviously, but social change starts from unpopular opinions. It's a double-edged sword.
Yeah that got me, too. It's pretty bass-ackwards. Why have a giant button for Add Photo when you actually have to click that little icon to add the photo. It makes absolutely no sense.
I don't know if it's temporary, but you can't post from Lemmy.world to Kbin, or even see any federated content from KBin. Also, anything I post from KBin doesn't show up on Lemmy.world.
Also, if you go to Lemmy.world and view this thread, there's 174 comments and counting. They aren't showing up here. Something is wrong with Lemmy.world federation.
@mojo Just keep telling people you don't know what IPFS is without coming outright and saying it. Lol.
"IpFs GeTs PaId In FiLe CoIn"
IPFS is a protocol, you nitwit. That's like saying "ActivityPub is gets paid in Filecoin" Makes no fucking sense. Build a Fediverse layer on IPFS, no crypto needed. FFS get educated before you start trying to talk to adults.
Jesus... just stop.
