@rockario To an extent, I get it and agree with it. Having each server store what it sees so that their users are pulling from local storage rather than hammering other servers with requests for the same post is good.
There just needs to be a limit.
On Kind.Social, I would aim for not keeping posts from other servers beyond a year unless they'd been interacted with.
That still ensures you can see plenty of post history on someone's account.

@Texan_Reverend @rockario Would it be possible to have those posts from local storage still be available to pull from their originating instance? So, alice@masto.soc posts a picture, nobody sees it, it gets purged, two years later, bob@mato.soc is flipping through alice's posts, gets to the end of the local storage, kind.soc throws off a "hey, gimme the next hundred posts and I'll store them again", then they get purged? that way history can still get cached locally, but preserved?
