@grishka I'm not sure I need to worry about that kind of optimization just yet. Whatever you might think, an individual server will never grow to the size of a VK. Worrying about it before you're 1% of the way there is not going to help you I believe.

@mariusor individual server? No. Most (all?) fediverse projects won't scale to a typical high-load infrastructure — most you could do is have the DB on a separate server. But you absolutely can have thousands, and even millions, of followers from all over the fediverse. Eugen, for example, has 467586 followers.

@mariusor I have "just" 200 followers on my Smithereen account, and it's already mildly frightening to watch the log as it spams each post at several tens of servers lol

@mariusor what I'm saying is that there's really no upper bound to the length of a collection. Especially when it's a collection that's the publicly-appendable kind. Group members, walls, forum topics, photo albums in groups, all those things. And you don't need a powerful server to host a collection with a million elements either.

@grishka well, I'm not sure what you're expecting from this. Some filtering is better than no filtering in my opinion.
