That’s true if of any power plant though. It’ll still be cheaper and safer (if it ever works).
The main goal of these sites is link aggregation. It wouldn’t be overly difficult for a federated server with its own /c/Technology community to see other posts from other communities linking to the same thing and combining the discussions into a single view.
The tricky part there is moderation, but even that’s manageable by allowing moderators to remove content from a federated view within their own instance, it’ll just be difficult when a small instance is dwarfed by a larger one.
This won’t be possible. Best you can do is use something like waybackmachine to get a cached version of the page.

There’s a bit of a gap in the data but despite some subs coming back online, it seems the number of comments has more or less stayed at the levels of the last 2 days.

Yeah, that kind of abuse prevention really shouldn’t be client side at all. It’s one thing to prevent a user accidentally causing harm, but if a bad actor can deliberately do it then we’ve got bigger problems.
Is that because of some kind of event sourcing, though? That’s not an uncommon way of handling these things.
Good to know! I expected that an influx of users would propel development, hopefully that momentum keeps up.
Yup, also browse “All” communities (not local/Subscribed) by “Hot” for an equivelance to the Reddit homepage and to discover other communities.
As one of those new users, I’m loving the potential of Lemmy and I’m enjoying finding my way around, but it definitely needs some UX enhancements, especially around federated communities.
The article is a bit out of date. I would recommend adding Prowlarr to the mix and dropping jackett.
I’m seeing the same thing, also in Firefox but I suspect it’ll happen on any browser. I’m with you, I think it’s because it keeps loading in new posts but doesn’t unload the old ones. It’s probably an easy fix
