Comment on Is there a fix for, "This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete."
auster@thebrainbin.org@thebrainbin.org 6 days ago About backfilling, if @modem_down come across any yet unfederated links in the wild, maybe worth mentioning search links are standardized and hard-coded, making even redirect scripts efficient. Like e.g. https://thebrainbin.org/search?search[q]=https://mastodon.social/@artologica@chaos.social/116986639666818550 yielding https://thebrainbin.org/m/random/p/829840 (and using a remote link from a third instance to further make my point hehe).
Though about the instance itself doing backfilling, it could be pretty taxing on both the requesting and requested instances, so I worry communications may get timed-out or the requesting instance may inflate to the point storage becomes a big concern.
