As I understand it the federation protocol is copying all the data from instance to instance. I think data is probably going to be the most taxing part of running a social media site, but since all the data is replicated, there wont be much load sharing there. Each instance will be taking care of the cpu/load requirements of rendering/serving the pages for their users, so there is some scaling benefits there to distribution. Anyway, I’m also still learning as well! I think we all are lol

It’ll get better over time as things settle in. Right now reddit is just the hottest topic on the block

Load would not be distributed though right? Because all the user data / activity would just be copied to every federating instance. Fediverse is more about redundancy & lack of centralized control, rather than load balancing.

Yeah its crazy, but was needed I think. Game was not really balanced at all…

I didnt realize the game got patched, because i haven’t been on r/dota2 since the blackout. Booted into a game last night, picked spirit breaked and was planning to build vangaurd into octarine lol. 'twas a rough one

If data is migrated from server to server, as the community grows in size, the data to be maintained on each server also grows in size? Also i’ve seen some servers allow the creation of new users/communities, but some don’t… whats the point of that if the data is just replicated anyway?
