that sounds crazy. that makes the idea of federation pointless imo... thank you for the response

Yeah, it makes federation, especially if you run your own server and don't have a large user base, largely broken.

You'll end up getting a shockingly small amount of replies to people you follow's posts, which (for me) is the whole reason I'm here.

It almost forces you onto a larger server if you want a reasonable experience (or you have to start ingesting huge amounts of data via relays), but I mean, at that point why not just use bluesky instead?
