Hi @bob ,
Good to hear from you! Do feel free to go back through this thread with @sadiedoreen as we discuss a proposal that we are calling GlutPlug, a ways to improve and democratise fediverse content delivery so that a server can delegate some large content fetches to #i2peers running the client, who have liked, boosted and replied to content that they have downloaded.
Basically if you have a family of 50 people using your instance, and they have 150 follow(er)s, we think GlutPlug is needed.
