Client needs to fetch all metadata needed for sorting for every post created during entire lemmy’s existance on every discovered lemmy instances.

Why would you need all data to build the frontpage? Why not just make a sliding window with the content from the last 24/48h?

So client-side sorting is basically running stripped version of instance without file hosting.

Even if that were true, how is that different, e.g, from any modern desktop email client?
