I posted far more details on the issue then I am putting here-
But, just to bring some math in- with the current full-mesh federation model, assuming 10,000 instances-
That will require nearly 50 million connections.
Each comment. Each vote. Each post, will have to be sent 50 million seperate times.
In the purposed hub-spoke model, We can reduce that by over 99%, so that each post/vote/comment/etc, only has to be sent 10,000 times (plus n*(n-1)/2 times, where n = number of hub servers).
The current full mesh architecture will not scale. I predict, exponential growth will continue to occur.
Let’s work on a solution to this problem together.
To be honest, I don’t know anything about how lemmy works. However, I was wondering whether there is anything that can be learnt from the Nano crypto currency because they have worked really hard to reduce traffic and spam on their network. It’s worth looking into if you haven’t already. There is no profit to be made with nano so the community is much less crypt-bro than other cryptos.
