There has been a steady trickle of new users here today, and in the past little while, mostly due to the bad decisions that reddit is currently making.

Anyways, welcome! Feel free to look around, and if you have any questions about anything lemmy related, feel free to ask!

Yeah I've been looking at the w3 spec. It's interesting. I think there isn't yet a good explainer page for newbies.

Yeah I have to remember to look at the spec. Some of the things seem kinda odd to me, currently there’s an issue on Lemmy about upvotes, and how the instance the post is on forwards every upvote to every server with over one user joined to the community, which with maybe 100 servers, 1,500 upvotes, it can get to be a lot of requests.

Mastodon gets around this by not federating likes, currently in the issue they’re discussing sending the upvotes in chunks (ex. #upvotes in past hour)

Seems like there’s still some work to do on the backend of Lemmy, but I have faith it’ll get figured out soon.
