I think this is the first time I'm seeing a fediverse post embedded in an article by a major news site.

Hey @[email protected], do you have any insight into any impact this might have on your server resources?
@[email protected] Oh cool! that's awesome
I haven't seen any impact whatsoever, but I imagine if it was a more high profile article it might generate more traffic if I understand how embeds work? My server already has to handle traffic to a number of servers anyway whenever a post is published in probably faster succession than people opening up that article.
Tangentially related, I think the verge has been planning to integrate more deeply with the fediverse based on posts I've seen from them- and I think long term it'd be better if they just had their own AP server that they grabbed embeds from rather than individual servers? For traffic reasons, and for the fact that I think I have a lot of control over what those embeds look like. Also, my server's probably a lot less reliable than any larger platform so theoretically that embed could just stop working
@[email protected] I was just thinking about how awful my network setup is because my basic router doesn't have loopback. So I access my mastodon server through a vpn, which means the only place in the world where that iframe doesn't work is if you're connected to my home wifi
