      It could be an issue if the admin isn’t prepared for it. One of the good things about it is that the posts get cached wherever they’re accessed so it may actually reduce server load for a popular post.

      I guess if it is an issue the admins could always disable activitypub.

          No, edits propagate, they just get sent as updates, and it happens pretty quick I think.

          But posts are about 1/100th of the traffic in forums in general, most people are just lurking. That’s the traffic that slows down servers.
