On the importance of caching, as you scale.

( Note from @reiver : caching is a common technique for trying to address certain types of scaling issues.)

The Fediverse versus The Federation

Friendica looks like a UI designed by back-end developers

We have had 2 speakers hoping for Mastodon to add (ActivityPub) "Article" support.

@reiver and a hint that there were recent conversations about when that might happen great to have folks together in the same place to talk about these topics!

@reiver - my biggest complaint with Friendica is in fact that the ui is cluttered and confusing, with some of the most used functions (posting photos, connecting with contacts) not placed plainly in view. Diaspora seems a little better in this, but also has some disadvantages too.

@TotalSonic @reiver you can also look at Smithereen

The usage of the word "tag" in the sense of keyword metadata [and the "tag" in "hashtag"], came from del.icio.us
