TIL the fediverse basically DDOS's sites when you share a link.

Sounds like every instance is doing the preview generation. Maybe it could grab the preview data it needs on the original instance, and pass that around with the post...
Well you can't really trust the original instance to be truthful with its preview.
-
Why not have the users fetch the previews themselves. The user's browser, that is.
Or get the preview on the first user seeing the post in that instance.

Heh. Ever heard of the Slashdot effect?
What 20 users visiting a site?

There are ways around that. See my other comment replying to the same parent as your comment.

You may suffer from the dumbs, my friend. My questions were answered. Before you showed up.
Stop with the “you may suffer from” nonsense (both of you). You’re being rude to each other and it’s generating reports.

Its not at all the same thing
You're right, it's not like... thousands of network connections are happening to the same site in both cases resulting in resource exhaustion.
Oh, wait...

I'm going to continue being rude to people who are rude to me. Sorry, not sorry.

Having things in common does not make them the same thing. I explained this in the OP.

That’s why I specifically said “both of you” and took no action beyond asking you both nicely to stop. Keep being rude if you really want, but it’ll be a ban.

You're right, neither of them are known for providing thousands and thousands of distributed network connections to the same destination resulting in that same destination server running out of resources. They're clearly not the same thing at all, no, definitely not at all.
