I was going to suggest Proxigram but the instances always seem really slow and unreliable. Is there a reason for this?

What do you mean by "already fetched"? I've been on the fediverse for quite a while and I've never seen new posts from a community be automatically federated across every other instance in the fediverse without someone from those instances interacting with it (e.g. following the community, searching it, etc). Can you point me to where it says it works the way you say? Not saying you're wrong. But would be news to me.

IIRC, this is how it works by design. Posts don't get federated to another instance unless someone from that instance interacts with it e.g. searches for it, comments on it, etc

Express, JavaScript (with JSDocs+TS for type-checking) and Postgres

So maybe switching providers altogether is a better option for those who have a choice

Genuinely curious, how would it not be possible for a person to switch to another provider? Are people really so tied to gmail that they feel it's impossible to leave?

This is ๐Ÿ‘. For those wondering, RFCs have been around for years in software engineering--since the beginning of the internet, practically.

As a software engineer myself, I can confidently say they're a great way to build complex software in a more democratic way.

They require a certain level of agreement and consensus, which makes them take a while to ratify. But you almost always end up with better software in the end.
