Oh wow, I have figured out why my site stops every time I post. Every single Mastodon instance reaches out for a preview copy. It's just SLAUGHTERING my little instance.Wondered what was causing that.

    @Sempf for edge (vs your own server cache) cloudflare is the cheapest and easiest to use imo

    @Sempf is it your app server or a database that's getting hosed? Like your web app may have a local caching option too

    @grumpasaurus It's a web app - they want me to use Front Door. No database, just JSON. (Well, no DBMS I guess).
