Updated mastodon.social to latest code from the master branch. Personally a fan of the new streaming API mechanism that allows the whole UI to use just one connection instead of having to open separate connections for each timeline.
🇳🇱
@Gargron Why is that? I Wouldn't have thought 1 connection vs 5 connections would make much impact, even on a mobile device. Though I am just speculating.
@freemo I don't know, it is simply a more elegant API design though
@Gargron Fair, I mean, its the design i would go with on those grounds alone. It was good call.
Was really just wondering if you saw any noticable impact to M/S resource consumption as a result. But I guess not?
@freemo Not really, no. When people have only the home timeline open there's no difference at all. It would make a difference for people who have like 20 hashtag columns pinned in the advanced interface, but those are rare.
@Gargron Thats me :) Anyway thanks for the info. good job on the improvements too, thanks for that.
Not sure if you heard about or checked out our group server and other new features. Feel free to check them out if they interest you and feel free to pull in any features you want.
@freemo Eh, it's probably one of those things that help the user more than the server, especially on mobile networks
