A server will only pull in everything from a community once at least 1 person on that server subscribes. Then it will start pulling in every new post and comment as soon as they’re up.
a primer on federation is prudent.
Something like this maybe?
/r/Tech, /r/Technology, /r/TechNews and others all exist. Which one is the “main” one?
Hey! Considering I just advertised your server on Reddit, thought I might put this here. Feel free to delete if you don’t need/want it.
Yeah, posts & comments can’t work in this way because each instance will have different ID numbers for their federated copy. I’m not even sure how to begin approaching this issue.
It’s not allowed in a lot of instances because the moderation is absolutely exhausting and sometimes NSFL material.
The only limiting factor here is admins + moderators of an instance willing to put themselves through that.
Legitimately almost made my spill my beer xD
Yeah, AAA titles have been absolute trash in recent years. I’ve just been on indie games and a total simp for Paradox Interactive (sorry, I love grand strategy games) for quite a while now.
I hear you man. I went from active contributor to mostly lurking on Reddit, and it wasn’t even a conscious choice. Gradually, everything became very mechanistic. I knew what the top few comments would be before going to the comments. The churn became cyclic in nature.
After just a few days here, it was actually a little disconcerting how antagonistic and hostile people there are in the comments section. That’s just how people communicate, on a hair-trigger from flamewar.
I recognize your username, I saw what you wrote about SQL scaling. Can you imagine recognizing a username in a major subreddit in the reddit of today?
The dichotomy between the big communities which people subscribe to from all over Lemmy and the small meta/announcement/server issue communities for each individual instance is gonna be interesting to see develop as the userbase increases. Kinda like the difference between seeing people from your street everyday, then many more less familiar people in the city center.
It’s an open issue on their github. The main devs are way too busy to deal with it. I’m trying to grok as much Rust & Psql knowledge as I can to be able to contribute, but it’ll take a while. Anybody with Rust & Psql knowledge can contribute, the devs are open to any contribution to improve the platform
Anyone looking for me, the user I’m replying to here is my new user
