Is there anyway to scale an instance by adding more nodes? Not be adding additional instances, but more of a distributed load balancing for a given instance? What about migrating communities to a different hardware instance? What scaling challenges does Lemmy face that something like Mastondon doesn't?
I'm sure there are many folks (myself included) who have technical resources that are not community builders. I'm sure if there if there is a way to spread the load, enough folks want this to succeed to make it work.
For those thinking of buying the game, there is a side feature that lets you build crazy machines. While almost completely unnecessary to complete the game, it allows for some pretty bonkers builds.
Most of my questions are less about the nuts and bolts of setting up an instance, and more about broader topics. Example: can their be a backup of an instance, both for load balancing and for redundancy? Can individual communities be migrated from one instance to another?
This seems like the most relevant community. I have so many questions - some from pure curiosity, and some from actually considering hosting an instance.
I want to see all the niche game specific subs, or at least how they used to be. Reddit started going downhill recently, with lots of good discussion moving to discord, and subreddits just being flooded with memes. I hate searching for anything on Discord...
