honestly its a fucking stellar bit of engineering work that atproto enables stuff like this. for you is up to like 10x this number of users and its still running on a desktop machine!
Right now For You serves ~5K daily users and 100K feed loads per day (1-2 QPS).

The feed runs on my desktop - AMD Ryzen 7900, 96GB RAM. I load tested in the past and it should be able to handle 60 feed loads per second (QPS). So there is ~30x room to grow on the current hardware.

The For You feed has been spreading like a wild fire yesterday and today and got 10K likes - which is crazy compared to the 6K likes it accumulated since ~May.

Thanks to all the likes, For You overtook the defunct Skygaze feed in the search results - no more confusion about which is the real one.

the problem with having an adhd as hell kid is that she keeps wanting to fixate on whatever she just got rather than keep opening presents

Our son bothered us for weeks about the ‘laughing marshmallow’ he saw on tv, wants to watch the show with him, etc…

We just figured out he was talking about THE PILLSBURY DOUGHBOY
