For example, the wiki/extracted posts don’t really need to sync as quickly as thread comments.
Yes, that goes back to my earlier post where I mentioned they would be more static, with few updates needed in quick succession. It’s not Wikipedia, it’s just trying to add pages of information that may be useful to the community. I’d suggest a daily sync would be fine (if there are any updates, worth adding a check to see.if an update is even needed) and keep the server load down.
I guess I’m worried about conspiracy theories pulling users of the ‘realistic’ path, while increasing load on dissenting instances.
I mean, it’s not Wikipedia and I am unsure if a community wiki is the right place to write a dissertation on our reptilian overlords. If, more seriously, there was a wiki page heavily promoting something with real-life consequences, like spreading anti-vax disinformation, it would also be happening in that community and, I believe, an admin can defederate specific communities.
I’m not a mod or an admin, so I’m hoping to get the conversation restarted among those with the ability to enact some of these changes.
In theory,.you don’t have to be a mod or admin to add to the code of Lemmy. A good idea, enthusiasm, an ability to code and some knowledge of working on open source projects are what’s required.
