[Discussion] Defed lemmit.online (feddit.uk)

Inspired by the lemmy.ca post, I want to discuss if we should follow and defed lemmit ourselves.

For those who don't know, or forgot because they blocked the bot, it's a Reddit reposter instance. It has very low engagement, but posts a lot. About 30% of all posts on feddit.uk are from this bot (838192/2806651 when I did the SQL). It is also by far the most blocked user on the instance, 151 blocks with second being a mere 40.

It also only synchronises with Reddit one way, so if you reply to a post, the person on Reddit won't see it.

If no one has any objections, I'm going to go ahead and defed as I don't think it's worth having around. Especially the way it makes the 'New All' feed useless if you don't have it blocked.

How much of an impact does federating with lemmit.online have on server resources?

[–] flamingos@feddit.uk 3 points 6 days ago

Not much, other than the size of the post table in the DB, but that's not the biggest tables so no need to worry. The only instance that I'd imagine to have a noticeable performance impact is lemmy.world, most of the server load is from users not federation.
