Topic: The favorites list should indefinitely be raised imo

Posted under Site Bug Reports & Feature Requests

So just tonight I had maxed out the number of submissions I can keep in my favorites, apparently the bar is 80000, which is a lot for sure, but I don't think there really should be a limit to how many favorites we can have. I understand that there might be like a backend reason for it, but I want to see if it's at all possible to raise that bar further. I've become so used to favoriting everything I see that I still impulsivley click the favorite button on stuff even when it won't work as a force of habit.

It was lowered not too long ago (from individual limits per level and 100,000 for normal users) to the current 80,000 due to existing performance issues

It certainly isn't going to go back up, if anything I'd expect it to go down further
You can use private sets (each set can have 10,000 posts and you can have 75 sets, for a total of 750,000) and votes, which are unlimited:

Similarly to the above you can search your sets with set:SHORTNAME, and combine them like ~set:name ~set:another_name up to the tag limit of 40

Well, it's not going to happen for a while at least.
The aforementioned performance reasons are fairly severe. Including request timing out on profile pages like yours.

Would we still get timed out if their Favorites are hidden from other users? Cuz the first thing I did when I saw this forum was check their profile and those numbers/posts are hidden from me

Thanks for the tidbit, I've been a frequenter of this site for years and I've yet to explore every little quirk of it

Did you just know how to dig through github changes? (I never would've even thought to look there)

He's submitted contributions to the site on GitHub before, so he's likely pretty familiar with it.

Honestly, I only feel like I know everything after scrounging through the code myself; there's more than a few things not yet documented that you can learn that way. You can look at this file to see if there's a alias/metatag you didn't know about.

I have opened more than 100 pull requests on e621's github repository, I even run my own fork where I've rewritten half of said code over the last few years
I am intimately familiar with e621's code
