Comment on What is up with the frequent little outages with ttrpg.network?

How would federation be the issue? I don’t understand. Do you mean that the federation process somehow overloads the servers?

you might have hit a server that was having an issue.

But always accessing ttrpg.network. That’s the server I use. So if I “hit a server” which is having issue - this is the one. It doesn’t matter that content is federated in from other servers - I’m not accessing them directly, I’m just going to ttrpg.network.

federated content lives on its original server for non-text stuff; Posts and comments federate over, but stuff like images are basically proxied to your current instance. If you go into a post that is from another server and there are images, it will go to TTRPG.network to begin to load, then need to load those resources from the remote instance, so there is a bit of a hop/back-and-forth there. There could be lag between instances that could cause issues.
