Curious, what % of redditors can the current fediverse instances handle?
Curious, what % of redditors can the current fediverse instances handle?
I am curious what % of user can the current lemmy instances take in from reddit
Can fediverse take on 30%, 50% or 100%?
For start, what are lemmy.ml and lemmy.world doing, are they just keep scaling up?
I think the current hardware for Lemmy.world should handle maybe 1M users, if the Lemmy software is tuned. If it should grow more, we need to look into horizontal scaling with Kubernetes.
But hopefully there will be more and more servers so the users can be spread more.
Will there be a user count# at which you close registering and encourage new users to different feds?
Is 1m users total registered, or synchronously active?
How can one donate to server upkeep, and what is your stance on financial transparency?
Thanks for hosting Lemmy.world! Does Lemmy use a database? Until the software gets horizontal scaling capability, could we use a central RDS so the load isn't on the EC2 instance's CPU? Then we can use load balancing between multiple instances that pull from the same DB? Obviously, the db instance is still a limiting factor.
It all runs on 1 physical server in docker containers. Scaling the Postgres database is least of my worries (I am a DBA) :-)
Out of curiosity, what's the current hardware?
