Also can someone explain what happens under the hood when someone with 100k followers like @taylorlorenz posts
Like does it send out 100k requests lol
@sam ah, basically, yeah. That's why #mastodon is a rather noisy protocol, since it is push-based instead of pull-based.
I suppose it is theoretically possible to deduplicate requests so if @taylorlorenz has 50k followers on mastodon.social then it only sends 1 for all 50k...
I don't know if that's the case right now though.
