I understand the difference, and that it makes it harder to scale.

I’m a Software Architect who has worked on some very large data sets and distributed systems. I’ve never used the title “Data Architect” but I meet the definition. So, yes.

Killing blockchain & DeFi is the intended effect.

I'm guessing you're seeing this on non-local communities? I think it means you're local server hasn't started copying and caching that content yet. I haven't taken a look at that part of the code yet, so just a guess.

You are right. On the one hand, it's kind of bad, naive distributed architecture (my day job), it could have been done much better. On the other hand, the more important point is that it demonstrates an alternative to centralized. We'll learn a lot about usage patterns here, get new ideas, and either improve Lemmy or build something better from the ground up. Big thanks to Reddit for driving users this way to test scalability and get much better knowledge of usage.
