- ma2rten 8y agoActually you should probably set up a CDN. There is no need to serve pages that are the same for every visitor from your server.
- Jach 8y agoI've been out of the loop a long time -- did the backend change along with the frontend? I remember LW links surviving HN hugs before...
- Discordius 8y agoYep, backend changed together with the frontend, and we are still working out some of the kinks.
- NoahTheDuke 8y agoWhile I have your ear, any reason why the Be Happier post[0] isn't loading anymore? Loading it through the Wayback Machine it shows that the author deleted their account. Did you folks decide to hide those posts? I only ask cuz it's my favorite post on the whole site.

- Discordius 8y agoYeah, the old Reddit codebase was super inconsistent about how it marked deleted and "soft-deleted" posts, and so we erred on the site of deleting stuff to not accidentally deanonymize someone. But now that you remind me of that, I think we now have the relevant technology and understanding of the old DB to make it do the correct thing. I will give it a shot in the next few days.
- NoahTheDuke 8y agoThat's awesome news. Good luck!
