Will that not become extremely resource-intensive once a server grows a bit and federates with other larger servers? E.g. you have 5000 users and they follow some other 50k users (each one following 10 people feels low, but I have no idea), you're now locally saving the twoots of 50000 users. And this is the same for every server, or is there kind of a synergy between federated servers?
- rolenthedeep 4y agoYes. This is why mastodon.social does not have the federated timelines, and why the feature is totally absent from the official mobile apps. Eugen (who created mastodon) has been trying to ditch the feature, which I think is a huge mistake. Almost every other server keeps it on, because it's a great part of what makes the fediverse special
