  • Anything you’re willing to submit. Just say what you like and what you don’t like.

    Out of curiositity what other backends were you hoping it supported? PieFed or Mbin?

    I have actually never tried Mbin, but I was talking to the PieFed devs the other day. PieFed API isn’t even stable yet, and they emphasized that they want the flexibility to implement features independent of Lemmy. For that reason, I see their API as a moving target that will slowly drift away from Lemmy. They are differnt projects with different goals. I think I can ship a better product if I focus on doing one platform really well.

    If you were talking about Mbin, I would be happy to do more reserach to determine if it’s a similar situation or not.









  • I really think the issue would be load on server bandwidth (depending who’s hosting the image). 2mb is not good for client performance, but in the grand scheme of things it’s not that much data. Video streaming consumes so much more. I would like to see smaller images so clients can load a feed of images faster. It’s also annoying because Lemmy doesn’t always tell you the size of the images. So the height of posts will shift in your feed as images are loaded.
