  • Update: thank you for pointing out to me which community this was posted on.

    I’m going to leave this post up as a cautionary tale for people like me who don’t pay enough attention!


    But Linux is cool cuz it’s so fast and it doesn’t break.

    Long as I’ve been using it anyway.

    So now linux is going to be much slower, going to break and be more susceptible to security breaches?

    I’m not a programmer, is the upside supposed to be that with so many more programmers able to work on the kernel, those issues will be able to be fixed by the extra programmers?

    It’s not like there’s anything wrong with Linux right now.





  • That I get. But then that animorphs@reddthat.com would be a completely separate community, not just a mirror of my community on shit just works right?

    So if animorphs was really popular, I would see five different communities from different instances, and All five communities would be copied to an accessible on every instance?

    I think I get it if I have that right.

    Thanks again, I think my stumbling block here was I didn’t understand that a community was copied to every instance that accessed it. I thought the instances were completely independent and any instance could simply direct you to the instance a particular community was hosted on rather than every community being mirrored on every instance.



  • That’s very interesting, thank you for explaining that.

    I keep thinking I understand how basic federation works, and then something like this crops up haha.

    So if they click on my link, they’ll be able to view it but not interact with it because it isn’t on their instance?

    And each time a change is made in the animorphs community on any instance, that’s reflected to all animorphs communities on all instances?

    It sounds like nodes of a crypto.

    Then there can only be one animorphs community named “animorphs” and any other community would have to have a slightly different name?
