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.
