What the title says. I think there is still a long way for that to happen but i’ve been hopeful. What do you think?

    The problem is that everyone has consolidated on one gargantuan server. The whole point of the fediverse is to spread out so no one server is carrying the entire load. I’m currently using lemm.ee and have experienced none of the issues being discussed here.

    But yes, I agree that it could be a potential turn off for newcomers.

      Spreading out would help the performance of the servers but would still expose inefficiencies in the backend systems that they use to talk to each other. The page might load, but the content will be all kinds of fucked.

      It’s a huge turn off. And federation itself adds to the problem when the servers don’t match up properly.
