   > Sharding, caching and queuing doesn't break federation. That's not a core flaw.

   I didn’t say it did, but it doesn’t enhance it either.

   > As the ecosystem grows, a shortlist of popular, robust, federated instances will crop up

   How short is a shortlist? When does that mean just new Reddit?

   I suppose I would be more enthused if at the least the basic design eased standing up high traffic (or let’s be honest even mild traffic) instances. The performance story right now is: it’s written in rust - which is not nothing but it would be more interesting if supporting even a moderate amount of traffic on minimal hardware was an architectural priority. The flaw as I see it is that this is just not a design goal.

   You can argue that things can be improved but initially well engineered systems help to enhance initial mindshare.

   Source to relay.fedi.buzz: relay the streaming API of Mastodon instances

   Worked as an interesting relay solution to my small instance. I relayed most of the instances which contain profiles I've subscribed to and it filled out my timeline considerably. Replies to remote posts aren't downloaded by default and this solved that problem.

   > Mastodon's issues are:

   Fediverse isn't just Mastodon. There are other implementations of ActivityPub compatible with each other. For example I can use Friendica and comment or retrweet posts from Mastodon and vise versa.

   > if I am on one mastodon site, I can not just retweet that post, I have to go to my server and then cut-and-paste a link to that other site.

   It was simpler in past versions of Mastodon but they removed that feature for some reason. https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/19306 Previously it was "remote interaction" dialog. Other implementations like Pleroma may have kept it.
