We need more instances, but we need to be a lot smarter about the structure. I think we will only be able to grow larger if we make a more intentional separation between topic-based instances and “people-home” instances, so that we can have a better spread of the load.
I don’t know if it would help with load-balancing, but I feel hash tags would be better than communities.
Isn’t that just Mastodon and similar services? I prefer the community url scheme more that the hashtag scheme.
I agree that the hashtag scheme is bad. It attracts people that want to self-promote or bots.

The total federated bandwith is definatly a bottle neck we are starting to approach (ie what we see with .world and it overloading small instances). Not sure the solution here but I’m sure we can work past it without compromising on decentralisation.
0.19.6 is adding better parallelization

Good article. But the trend of the internet it to not use a browser but an app that often emulates a browser.

That would be better, but also put more cost on the users who have been spoiled by decades of someone else paying for incremental access to, storage of and processing of data.

I’ll read that but before I do, I want to point out that developers generally have the latest, most expensive tech and they generally build for that first.
