It is not feasable to increase it higher, because it never seen to be needed or wanted ( from the instance admins ) as more posts to load => more infrastructure costs.
Just scroll to fast and then you get rate limited. Infinity scroll is the enemy of every infra admin.
We can not disallow that usage, so that is out of reach for us. But that is “ok” if its still in the given rate limit that every instance is defined for themselves.
Thank you for the response but out of curiousity how much would it cost to get lemmy.world its own servers and be also a hosting site. Kind of like imgur was born out of reddit and that turned into a huge platform. How can someone do the same for us?
We are hosting Lemmy on our own servers, it costs us ( including all other services like mastodon.world etc… ) 1.5k€ ( it is outdated but it should be in that range, ca. Dec. 2023 ) https://blog.mastodon.world/
You guys or gals are in Europe? oh btw I just want to thank all the admins who respond to mine and others posts showing that you are hands on…no sarcasm.
Ok read that. But as a non admin or even a programmer can I learn and this may not be the right word to code so I can help out lemmy more? Or do I need to go to inbox after inbox asking for donations? again no sarcasm.
You could learn Rust or Typescript ( React ). And then you can contribute to the respective github repositories like the API ( https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy ) and contribute there.
It will take some months to learn correctly and then the Lemmy devs need to approve your changed code.
Cool…don;t know if I have months because it depends on the next Hospital I am at. …But are there any links you can do for Typescript and React so I can study in my spare time.?
In default there are 20 posts shown ( maximum )

That can’t be true when most apps (and many are web wrapper’s) have infinite scroll.

But like said it would increase the costs a lot.

Without programming knowledge you can not do that. We are not the creators of lemmy.
Here is all the code that is connected to lemmy: https://github.com/LemmyNet
ok now besides looking at all the lemmies what code can I learn to better support you guys and gals?
