   >but doesn't have backfill
   Oh I didn't know that, seems easy to fix so it must be an architectural decision.
   Tell you the truth I often play with azorius (golang lemmy compatible server), with I had more time to hack on it. I have some notes to make it more compatible with Pleroma.

     @laurel@freespeechextremist.com It's easy to fix but it's not the scope of the fedi software and shouldn't be in the scope of the fedi software ever. If every new instance decides to just backfill every new community it discovers that's gonna result in accidental DDoSes left and right :koishtare:
     
     Separate script in a cron job for backfilling (while adding a reasonable delay between each requests) is the right way to go. :cirno_fumo_yes: Added bonus of being fedi software-agnostic too

     @roboneko@bae.st Oh yeah I agree. That's a different problem though but it is related to the problem of not backfilling at all :cirno_fumo_yes:

     @mima @Zerglingman @laurel @untyped the problem is that AP does not provide a sensible way in which to implement backfill. you have to do a linear scan to an arbitrary depth to know that anything is missing in the first place. it's absurd
