Participants and Federation
Hello, it's me André from https://event-federation.eu
Currently the user is shown a hint that "The actual number of participants may differ...". This is good, but still it could be better.
The actual number of participants being federated is crucial under some cases: there is a limit of participants, etc. There could be solutions on how to keep this count in sync, even without knowing about the actual participating profiles. The number of participants could also be shown of the JoinMode
is external.
I would like to have a chat about this first, before I start comparing potential solutions (e.g. a solutions similar to how Mastodon is intending to sync boost and like-counts, or just sending a minimal update of the Event with the recipent actually parsing the fields relevant for participant count).
