Mastodon Stampede
"The problem arises when a federated user with a high number of followers shares a post, or boosts (Mastodon’s term for sharing another user’s post) on their timeline...When an instance gets a new post that contains a link, it makes a request to that link to generate a preview. The process happens automatically."
Just saw @CoffeeGeek is going to avoid posting links to Mastodon to avoid this.
Most sort functions have a way to plug in your own comparison routine so you can sort the items in a specific way. I want that in a #Mastodon client.
If I wanted to boost a toot that's not on this server, is there a way to drag it here for boosting?
Is there any social media reader app that lets me add custom tags to other people's posts? #rss #mastodon
