One of the large applications I was working on had the same issue, to solve it we ended up creating multiple smaller instances and started hosting a set of related API’s in each server.

for example read operations like list posts, comments etc could be in one server. write operations can be clusered in one server.

Later, whichever server is getting overloaded can be split up again. In our case 20% of API’s used around 3/4th of server resources, so we split those 20% API’s in 4 large servers and kept the remaining 80% API’s in 3 small servers.

This worked for us because the DB’s were maintained in seperate servers.

I wonder if a quasi micro-services approach will solve the issue here.

Edit 1: If done properly this approach can be cost effective, in some cases it might cost 10 to 20 percentage more in server costs, however it will lead to a visible improvement in performance.

The issue is you are sorting by “Active”, this is the default setting in Timeline.

You need to change it to either “Hot” or “New”. I personally feel “Hot” is the better option.

If that’s what they are banking on, they are in for a rude surprise. I am part of the crowd that has never used anything apart from the new reddit web and reddit’s official mobile app. Still I left for the fidiverse.

I reckon theres many more like me. Either way, it’s good for the internet as a whole. We need atleast some part of the internet that’s safe from corporate interests.

Exactly, this is what they are banking on.

Will pass as they lose substantial number of followers and contribute to the growing fidiverse.

However for them, it’s not a big deal as the get the following benefit

1. All undesirable users leave for fidiverse or other reddit alternatives.
2. The remaining users will be tame like the users of FB, Instagram. Which destroys Reddit as we know it, but the new Sanitised Reddit will be more appealing to investors in an IPO even with less users.

Hopefully this is a turning point and leads to the development of The real Web 3.0, federated version of Web 1.0. (The Metaverse bullshit can no longer be called Web 3.0)

I will make lemmy my new home. Will uninstall reddit as I did with twitter.

No need to be rude my friend.

I am logged in from Lemmy.world, welcome to the fidiverse.

Also fuck spez!

I haven’t left reddit, but I am sure I will be spending more time here in the fidiverse than sites like reddit and twitter.

I am loving this. I don’t think I’ll be using reddit as much as I did previously.
