We upped this limit to 50k

This seems needlessly excessive, that 1000 item limit in reddit has always been there to keep performance manageable and while increasing it probably wont be catastrophic, it will make things harder to scale.

The 1000 item limit per listing never bothered me too bad and I replicated this limitation in the design of notabug also with the goal of keeping performance managable and it feels like an acceptable tradeoff to me. It’s more necessary for nab’s design though as the clients fetch these 1000 id lists and build listings from them clientside, with the server only calculating/sorting things in response to changes, never in response to requests for data.

Also, https://github.com/notabugio/notabug is ready to run. “yarn setup && yarn start” should get you a peer running on port 4444 now. I’m still polishing things but it’s in a good enough state for mirroring. Running your own indexer/tabulator could still use some better documentation but the mirroring case should be pretty solid now.

The 1000 item limit bugged the heck out of me, because it meant I couldn't go past 5 pages on the /new tab, and it meant that I simply could never view my full post history either. It's very important for that data to be as accessible as possible, imo.

Wow that's fantastic news about the mirroring software, /u/d3rr and myself will have to give it a try soon, and I'll make an announcement that both sites are mirroring each other's data and our cross-site federation is formed and operational. Very exciting! Nice work, good going. I think this will be great for both our sites.

The 1000 limit bugged a lot of people: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=reddit+1000+limit&va=z&t=hk&ia=web

I think we're arguably 50 times better than reddit now. Assuming we can keep the number that high.

congrats on notabug being shippable again! MNABGA!
