@Sunshine y'all asking to help, please look into funding/helping dev work... seems like there are fundamental issues with friendica and how it can't handle some things...like lemmy. it overwhelms it with all the data points as it was intended for smaller groups not large communities... seems to like exponentially creates data...but i'm not a dev so ...maybe talking some point wrong. but regardless, i love friendica and would love for this issue to be resolved...
