I know that Lemmy is open source and it can only get better from here on out, but I do wonder if any experts can weigh in whether the foundation is well written? Or are we building on top of 4 years worth of tech debt?

    Maybe they wanted a different type of user experience. But yeha, maybe that’s something Reddit could pull off because of their infrastructure… And they don’t even do it because there’s not much user value to it.

    Although reddit does use some websockets so you can see how many users are also seeing the post at the same time.

    But not websockets for EVERYTHING.
