  • Sorry, mixed up n2 and 2n. But what I meant was that there’s eventually going to be a point where the limiting factor is the number of people willing to upvote it, which is asymptotically constant (after crossing the threshold of making it onto the front page.)

    Both the number of posts and the width of the posts are limited by a constant in this way, though the latter is a much larger constant. I suppose I was talking about the width of the posts, but it would have been more accurate to say it’s bound above by 2^(the number of users on Lemmy.)

    In short, I do not think these posts are going to reach a 2048-wide en passant, but I don’t think image size is going to be the reason why.
