hey @mastohost (cc @unascribed)

question that is not as hypothetical as you might think:

pursuant to the ongoing Mastodon Stampede problem (https://www.jwz.org/blog/2022/11/mastodon-stampede/)

have you considered running a mastohost-level instance of jort.link (or similar) and making your instances fetch their metadata from that?

i realize this would be a code change -- i don't think it would be a super big one though and i suspect the patch would be auto-applied. the infra-level burden of doing this seems worse, which is why i'm asking you before writing code
