I’m actually seeing a fair number of people linking or mentioning Lemmy, there may be traction…

I’ll admit to a little shitposting in the AMA thread to be fair, but mostly to promote Fediverse alternatives where people are asking where they can go.

Mm, I’m a big fan of Decronym on Reddit, the bot that wanders around demystifying acronyms. There was a post by the bot’s creator yesterday where they covered how many API calls it makes, and how there’s been no clarity on whether there’ll be a free tier of API usage etc.

It could shut down all the comment bots on the site.

Kinda cancel out the far-right invasion of Voat? It’s a line of reasoning, certainly.

Might be a silly question, but: does ActivityPub support setting up a subinstance that gets its data from somewhere else? Traditionally you’d probably do that with a pgsql machine and multiple frontends, but having thought about it while typing this out, putting that load on the ActivityPub protocol would mean loading up the master to much the same extent as just having the traffic hit the master directly…
