@prologic@twtxt.net Why does my twtxt feed have dozens of twts, but the web interface is only showing “Page 1/1 of 9 Twts”? Does it limit the number of twts shown by time (show only “most recent twts”) instead of by feed size? If that is so, is that limit’s existence a pod configuration?

@marado@twtxt.net Yes. And yea it is configurable. By default 150 Twts per feed and 10 days TTL. I’m actually thinking of making the default smaller 😆

@prologic@twtxt.net Less than ten days? Why? What does that solve?

@marado@twtxt.net it solves not crashing Yarn. The bigger it is, the more memory/CPU it will consume.

I feel like this question comes up every now and again that it might be worth adding to the FAQ

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci is right. And so is @bender@twtxt.net – This is designed to constrain resources for running a pod, and to reduce cognitive overload (infinitely scrolling through all the shit we say) and to mimic more real life conversations (we don’t remember things we said years ago, nor do we really want to be held by them, we might have changed our views)

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Agreed I’ll try to write this up tomorrow 👌 Sorta tried to just now ☝️

@marado@twtxt.net And look maybe the defaults currently are actually fine 🤔 –Experuences are telling me now though that busier pods like mine probably warrant smaller per feed size and TTL
