Were you testing because of today's post on itsfoss.org saying "Please don't boost this on Mastodon"?  @rdnielsen yes, and so far from this post being multiple times more popular than the majority of their posts.... there's literally no issue  @gamingonlinux @rdnielsen The "Mastodon effect" is a real thing, but its impact will depend heavily on how a site is set up. I'm surprised a news site would struggle with it. Discussion on the Mastodon GitHub here: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/23662 A fix seems to be currently planned for 4.4.0. @julian @rdnielsen overall, it seems like their site or server is just...poorly done  @gamingonlinux @julian @rdnielsen Dare I say it sounds... like a skill issue? @gamingonlinux You need to write some click-bait, my man. You can have these for free.. Number 11 is the best!  @gamingonlinux this is because of that bit from It's FOSS? I hope you can conclusively show this is FUD.  @gamingonlinux I think who boosts you is more important than how many. A single boost from someone follows by users on thousands of servers is going to do more than 100 boosts from single-digits. That being said, I've done my part twice in case timezones matter too 8-) @gamingonlinux they didn't describe anything that should make a static site sweat at all. The scale they described is laughable. Their chokepoint is probably some overburdened and optimized comment database or something. |
Well nearly 100 boosts and it's done practically nothing, interesting.
