Go back to your soy webdev work if you don’t like hearing opinions on the internet

Thank you, very clear.

So B will list all users subscribed to foo, look at their instances, and send the update to them.

I assume that if someone from a new instance (D) subscribes to foo, then D will need to request all the old posts from foo, since they weren’t pushed to D?

Do you mean that the database is not identical, but still duplicates all data, basically? (you said “they each have a copy”, I assume it’s persistent on disk). So if we have 100 lemmy instances, they all save the same post.

Thanks but this is quite high-level.

Okay, so Alice makes a request to A. A makes a request to B. B makes requests to all other instances.

If you get posts from your home instance, does it mean that all instances duplicate the same database?
