The problem with any media heavy content is storage. Fediverse is diy, mom’s basement servers. Who’s going to pay for all the storage?

I guess because it can federate with other servers and protocols?

Never heard of that for, it looks exactly built for this problem, better than torrent. Good call.

anyway to use torrent protocol somehow? Like popcorn time did?

One difference I’m struggling with is how to search past posts? I can find communities easy enough, but how do you search a specific issue that’s covered in a post somewhere?
