Are there any Discord servers or somewhere in the Matrix to chat about hosting a Lemmy instance? I’ve got Lemmy running, but I think there are several of us in the same boat struggling with federation performance issues and it might be good to have some place to chat real time.

    Well- I do know- most of the components do scale.

    The UI/Frontend, for example, you can run multiple instances easily.

    The API/MiddleTier, I don’t know if it supports horizontal scaling though. But, a beefy server can push a TON of traffic.

    The database/backend, being postgres, does support some horizontal scaling.

    Regarding the app itself, it scales much better if EVERYONE didn’t just flock to lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, and beehaw.org. I think that is one of the huge issues… everyone wanted to join the “big” instance.
