@felixp7 That's correct. The backing twtxt.txt
file (_it has a name that matches the username on the pod, e.g: felixp.txt
_) is completely unaffected. At _some_ point the backend will have to be _taught_ how to rotate your primary feed and any other feeds you manage, but that's a problem for months down the track (_again for performance reasons_). But as I said above they are no longer in the cache, but the full feed is still downloadable/consumable.

@prologic I can't really argue with performance implications but I'm curious of one thing. Is the limit of 10 days / 150 items adjustable in any way? I can see why it matters for a crowded instance like the one we're on but what about a single-user self-hosted pod?

@lukem Yes it is configurable, and for a single-user Pod with closed-registrations you _might_ want to increase these configuration values.
