Lemmy web data usage
(lemm.ee)
Everything about Lemmy; bugs, gripes, praises, and advocacy.
For discussion about the lemmy.ml instance, go to !meta@lemmy.ml.
Lemmys WebSockets are being phased out currently and thus all bugs regarding them (wrong vote counters, posts being pushed in at the top in the wrong categories, etc.) are gonna go away as soon as the transition is complete.
Oh, cool. What's replacing them?
Just a "normal" http API as far as I know. There won't be any live notifications/data on release but this can be added using polling at a later stage. It was mainly done because websockets just don't scale well at all with thousands of users.
Yeah, that was my concern. Sounds good to me!
The live posts and notifications are definitely cool but I know it would be challenging to make it both useful and scalable.
Normal http requests for on-demand content, likely polling for live-updating content.
