Hmmm. I wonder if @Daniel Lowe has any insight - the Bluesky plugin has two check boxes in settings: Load timeline and Load pinned feeds.

I basically want to see exactly what I would see on the Bluesky feed, which is posts created by follows but not posts that are commented on by follows.

If I check Load timeline, I see posts commented on by follows, which rapidly clogs up my Friendica feed with random stuff. If I don't check it, I don't seem to see much of anything.

I cannot figure out what these two settings do, or indeed what the definition of feed v timeline is.

This may be more of a bluesky question and I don't have much experience with it. Bluesky does have the twitter model of interaction, though, where the timeline by default includes the posts that your follows reply to. I can imagine, maybe, an option where it ignores replies by follows, but we don't have that here. At least not yet.

I've separated my follows into multiple Circles, separating "followed" and "friends" and that's helped a bunch.

@Daniel Lowe Yeah, I don't expect you to know the answer to all this stuff, but you're more likely than about anyone else I can tag, and we're talking stuff obscure enough that Google searches don't help much.

I hate Twitter with the burning passion of 1000 flaming suns, and that's from before the Muskpocolypse. It's designed to discourage personal connection in favor of retweet mongering. I realize I'm in an oxymoronic position of trying to get Twitter clones to stop behaving like Twitter. But I'm trying at least to get the thing that is actually enriching to my life.

@Daniel Lowe Also, I'm wandering the Internet looking for ways to consolidate social networking, and it looks like there is a ljpost addon for Friendica. That's obscure, but I'm curious if that functions. I still have a s mi-activrDreamwith account and people I interact with there.

@Susan Rati Lane I've added a Dreamwidth-specific plugin so you can try it and see how it goes. I rather suspect that the short-post style won't really fit in a blog format.

@Daniel Lowe Hmm. Klatch.club/network has been failing to load for hours. Are you seeing anything with your admin eyes?
in reply to Daniel Lowe

Dur. The web is what's giving me a problem. I'm going to disable the Dreamwidth plugin just in case that's the cause 🤔

@Susan Rati Lane I see the 500 errors. Can you hit it a couple of times more so I can look with logging enabled?
in reply to Daniel Lowe

I hit it 3 times with Firefox and 3x with Chrome, since I'm seeing different error styles.

Everything else is loading just fine. It just that one page.

in reply to Daniel Lowe

@Susan Rati Lane It looks like it was hitting memory bounds. I've upped the allowed memory, we'll see if that helps.
in reply to Daniel Lowe

Loads fine now. Sounds like we're really pounding the server's resources.
in reply to Susan Rati Lane

@Susan Rati Lane It's still exhausting 256MB. Upping to 512MB to see if that fixes it, but I can't really keep it there. Mastodon wasn't nearly this demanding.
in reply to Daniel Lowe

@Daniel Lowe That seems crazy. A couple of Googles on Friendica memory usage that you probably already tried didn't turn up much useful except confirming that the network page breaks when memory is overextended
