I’m RoundSparrow @Lemmy.ml and RocketDerp on Github. I’m trying to test and identify Lemmy platform scalability and performance issues. Hello to you!
comments are hidden on some posts I’ve seen, like it says there are 8 but I see 2.
Lemmy has bug in counting too. Comments are often missing because of replication issues between servers. But the most common issue I’v seen with inflated comment numbers is edits being counted as new comments.
Federation also does a lot of live HTTP connects to other peers. It looks up users for messages. The whole design is very resource intensive, one single vote, comment, post at a time. There is also a lot of boilerplate JSON overhead in sending something as simple as a single vote.
This post you made, the language you set on it is “中文”.
