BREAKING: Sharing links on Mastodon? Think again, our perfectly normal and reasonable website can't handle people linking to it. https://itsfoss.com/news/mastodon-link-problem/?a=4563egrfgfe https://itsfoss.com/news/mastodon-link-problem/?a=5432fss https://itsfoss.com/news/mastodon-link-problem/?a=56709 https://itsfoss.com/news/mastodon-link-problem/?a=aogre https://itsfoss.com/news/mastodon-link-problem/?a=jklpsdcfv https://itsfoss.com/news/mastodon-link-problem/?a=kakakakaka https://itsfoss.com/news/mastodon-link-problem/?a=ujqjkzx https://itsfoss.com/news/mastodon-link-problem/?a=poplijux https://itsfoss.com/news/mastodon-link-problem/?a=981 https://itsfoss.com/news/mastodon-link-problem/?a=dfsglmdfgsz

@MNNHNewsEnglish tbh it's an unfixable problem. Request spam is an inherent feature of microblog federation and the only way to solve it is by not federating at all.

@fristi @MNNHNewsEnglish If posting a link generated a thumbnail/preview at the same time that the internal link shortening occurs, Mastodon could federate the preview through the same mechanism as image federation, reducing the load on the website and reducing the number of previews to, at most, the number of servers federated to. Maybe? 🤷

@MNNHNewsEnglish @fristi not really. We already do the same for images, right?

@MNNHNewsEnglish It kills me how they're using cloudflare but they say it doesn't help.Which tells me they do not use cloudflare correctly, as this should be the world's most cacheable request

@kura @fristi @MNNHNewsEnglish decentralised caching is in principle possible.
