  • details in implementation are not and it’s impossible to support all nuances

    what are you talking about? modern web development is hardly a problem (because of the standardization). i am a front-end engineer, i deal with website development every day, and i can count with one hand the times i had browser-specific issues in the last 5 years.

    you know the times that I had to deal with technology-specific issues? with 3rd party vendors for screen readers, which is not as standardized as the web.

    the issues the web had in the past, where it was impossible to support all varieties were intentionally caused by Microsoft creating their own implementation of stuff for IE (sometimes because there was no standard yet; sometimes against the standard). there have been attempts from google more recently to add extra incompatibility (like making Google Drive offline only work for chrome), but nothing as bad as what Microsoft used to do.

    Good luck creating new browsers that can run Vue or React

    what does that mean? vue and react are just libraries, as long as you implement all the required features, they will work. it would be a ton of work, which is why there are only 2 (3 if you consider webkit and chromium different engines) implementations





  • I do have a question about how the instances and federation would work. If you are in an instance like lemmy.world, and it is federating with any other instance, then the content is being loaded from some other server, right? so if there is a large server with millions of users, could that server federate with a small server that isn’t ready to handle the traffic of millions of users and basically kill it? or the server has a way to prevent being federated into another instance?

    i am still trying to learn about fediverse
