But for Peertube instead of Lemmy? Sounds cool, I think Peertube needs it way more than Lemmy does

The rate of growth does matter yea. If an instance gets worried, they can lock signups. Slow growth means the software has time to improve as they notice issues.
Lemmy had many issues scaling before, except Lemmy had huge surges with the Reddit API blackouts.
If people start recommending PieFed now, it’s on their own terms instead of a massive wave. They can backoff if they get too many users.
I think it’s unlikely that they would attract such a large number of users with 1 post on r/RedditAlternatives or something. Lemmy gets spammed everywhere and we usually don’t even gain 1000 users a day overall across all instances.
There’s already been some comments about PieFed and they didn’t result in huge surges.
We have data on what it costs to run a sizeable instance of Lemmy and it’s not a lot. How does Piefed compare? Anyone starting an instance who envisions it growing large has to contend with this question.
I don’t think this is a major concern yet. The largest PieFed instance has 308 active users, 2nd place has 34. They’ve got room to grow.

People can start posting about PieFed on Reddit and see how the Reddit users react.
- “sort”: that’s the word for the options of “new”, “scaled”, “active” etc, right?

- @Die4Ever pointed out there’s a “Show Read Posts” option in the settings. I’ve unticked that and will see how it goes.
I honestly don’t use this feature myself lol but I hope it helps you!
In your settings on the website there’s a checkbox for “Show read posts”, uncheck that. Some apps have the same feature or similar. Some apps also have an option to mark as read when you scroll past a post without opening it.

it depends if your Lemmy instance is configured to copy and host images, or proxy images (in which case they won’t get your IP but they’ll know when you look), or neither (they get your IP if they’re running their own instance or self-hosting the image itself)
I just sent myself a PM to test:
programming.dev shows the image as hosted from retrolemmy.com
it might also be currently bugged: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5538
It also reduces the possibility of being tracked
we all know there’s currently only 1 chick in the fediverse
