    Server rendered sucks ass. Why would I want to pay for an always running server just to render a webpage when the client’s device is more than capable of doing so?

    Centralization is just pushed because it’s easier for companies to make money off servers.

      You don’t have to render everything on the server, a good hybrid is usually the way to go. Think SEO and initial response. I think lemmy-ui could will also benefit from it (google results)

        Yeah, it will give you the best of both worlds, but at a fundamental level I still hate that I have to pay for an always running server just for SEO, if I can get away with it I’d much prefer a purely static site that has to have its content pages rebuilt when they change.

      Because it’s better to deliver a page in a single request, than to deliver it in multiple. If you render the page on the client you end up making a lot of requests, each one requiring a round trip and adding more and more delay.
