I’m so confused!! Still trying to figure out how to tell jerboa to show me communities that aren’t local (and aren’t showing in all - I did find memes and other juicy numbers there!)…

I might have made the mistake of trying to pick a server that wasn’t struggling under the load of the Reddit refugees, but I still don’t think it was a bad idea…

Quite a learning curve though. Some cheat sheets or heaven forbid, starter packs would be snazzy :)

Thanks! I’m still arguing to reach out to communities in other instances through it (or to log in on other instances where the content I’m interested in resides - is that a valid concept??), but I’m having fun and it sure is new. Edit: I have finally realized it’s done in the servers communities listing, not in Jerboas listing of subscribed communities - am doofus…/edit

I love the federated idea, that’s a great approach to the corporate overlording that’s going on these days.

In an earlier time, id probably struggle through spinning up another server, but I’m way too over it the days…

That’s what I’ve gathered, but I don’t believe there’s a way for instance owners to limit what’s fetched - a user crafts the query and the server does the needful.

I imagine this could amount to a denial of service attack of sorts, if some high-churn communities are imported into tiny instances. How bad that could be, I have no idea - I’m speaking pretty theoretically, here. Text is tiny, after all, so it’s probably not much of a concern, since most of the media is actually handled elsewhere…

I’m sure they were equally concerned and principled when it came to the political views of the Reddit admins

Thank you - I didn’t see that coming and it’s downright hilarious!

That’s a really interesting point - they’re not to be trusted and they’ve already shown their hand, so to speak.

I can’t see many connections for them…

Oh wow so it’s really the transactions per minute, not so much the baseline set of data?

I never knew what asinine meant until I used fark… It was educational in many ways, for sure.

I dunno, I think there’s still some rose colored glasses going on
