WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE ARE NO ANGRY PEOPLE YOU FUCKWIT!
(I'm just joking. Are we doing /s here?)
Ooh I have a sense this will all be very good here.
Cloudflare can protect against DDOS. In this instance the people are ddosing the server, although not intentionally. There are just a lot of people trying to open the site. So it's not malicious but still an "attack", which cloudflare's service mitigates. In reddit it was called the "reddit hug of death", when small sites kneeled down because a post got popular with their links in it.
And yes, there are, the second largest is fedia.io You can find more here:
To quote ljdawson, the dev of Sync for reddit: "Apart from crashes I don't track shit."
He was asked how many API calls Sync's users have on average. He simply couldn't answer. That's why we loved 3rd party apps.
Monk. I have a long standing love for monks.
Yepp, it works surprisingly well. I assume one of the similar communities will eventually "win" on one of the instances, like with similar subreddits over time. Also some instances will go full specific, like nature or movies or gaming etc. See the growth of lemmynsfw already, lol.
I'm really liking it a lot. I wasn't too amused by Mastodon either, but as you say: for link aggregation, for specific communities, for discussing topics (and not being about people, but about topics) this is a perfect match.
On kbin.social specifically, federation is currently broken. The server saw a lot of stress because of the influx of new users and the dev turned on the cloudflare check, so that instance won't kneel down. That broke the federation, other instances cannot go through that check.
You can even say...the real treasure is the friends we made along the way?
No, I've changed it.
My reddit name became known to a couple of my friends during the 10 years I was there and I want the total anonymity again.
