First of all, the ActivityPub system is not suited to something like Misskey, which flows at lightning speed.
It was originally designed to connect blogs, small-scale SNSs, and wikis.
How can it handle the TL hell where tens of thousands of requests fly in per second?
It’s based on the idea that it would be nice if various small services could send each other updates, so it’s quite costly.
I never thought about it this way. Probably that’s why Mastodon was always struggling with discovery, while on the other hand federation on the Threadiverse works quite well
Mastdon’s discoverability issues are as political as they are technical. It fundamentally requires some aggregating and process of people’s data, something Mastodon users are infamously opposed to. Not for entirely illegitimate reasons, but the extent some go to oppose it is troubling.
Ah, that makes sense. I assume than that discoverability is better on Sharkey and other key forks?
Maybe? You’d have to ask someone who’s used them.
I’ve actually never used anything beyond my basic mastodon.social account.
I’m hoping to finally be able to move of it if FEP-1580 goes anywhere: https://neuromatch.social/@jonny/115376513498494866
Let’s hope!
