does mastodon’s search even work? Unless a post has a hashtag its near-unindexable.

The search doesn’t even work on my instance.
Lemmy is the only fediverse software with a good search imo.

I’ve heard of snac, but never knew about the database thing. What does it use? static files?

Misskey (I use sharkey, a fork of it) is really good. Groups don’t federate yet iirc.

Its frontend is extremely slow though.

Does it work in (proprietary) chrome?
iirc it also works in ms-edge for linux.

I remember there used to be images to trick t-shirt bots, in a bid to get the companies behind them sued by disney.

On most fediverse softwares its near-impossible to start federating on the same domain without the same keys it had before. Lemmy is the exception.

this explains why most of the images from quokk are broken anyway.

The post has been since deleted, but someone was trying to last three days without pooping.

I just took another look at it,

Comparing it to another random note, the to and cc fields are supposed to be arrays, rather than just a string.

Its also missing a url field, which is supposed to link to the user-facing url of the post.

There is some features that are needed, like the dismal state of mod tools, and moving communities to other servers.

I know. It just reminds me of them.

They’re not breaking things, they just have development that doesn’t move at the speed of molasses.

I doubt it would get shutdown, all the communities there would have to shut down.

So, are all the posts and stuff on your instance gone?

Were you able to migrate the DB?

join.piefed.social has a list somewhere.

Piefed being written in python means nothing.
Instagram and threads (and parts of the clusterfuck that is facebook) are written in python and seem to have scaled fine.

Performance is negligable – the main bottleneck is I/O.
If a new python release breaks compatibility, Piefed can keep using the old version of python.

But python isn’t the webs scripting engine. If it was, browsers would have support for python3 and 2.

• being able to move communities.

too heavily promoted of late to be believeably organic

No. Its promoted because of its fast development and extra features.

Piefed is decentralised itself.

i wouldn’t say they invented the threadiverse, groups have existed on the fediverse since diaspora, but they certainly popularised it.

Diversifying the amount of software in any network is always a good thing though.
