Nice roadmap!

In particular I like the focus on promoting/helping independent servers.

Love this! I'm hoping at some point database efficiencies will be looked at. One of the biggest costs for people running single-user or small instances is the exponentially growing database.

@jon It's on the list of things we want to improve but is very complex. We have some ideas that we will try out and see if it improve things for real. As anything displayed to a user needs to be stored in the database, this can quickly be a lot of data, but we can often refetch it if needed

@Mastodon Are there plans to leave GitHub? That would only be logical. @Codeberg , for example, would be a good fit.

@Mastodon

Any movement on admin-configurable maximum post size (characters)?
