Is renaming the instance domain without reinstalling Lemmy related to changing the WebFinger query? It’s the trick some instances use to have a different instance domain from their username domain, like @user@domain.com while the instance is mastodon.domain.com.

https://leddit.danmark.party, because it’s running a bot named Leddit that pulls content from Reddit. And, uh, Denmark Party, because I love Denmark and I thought it would be really funny to own a domain named this. I also wanted to split my serious and silly projects into different domains, so I bought this extra domain and use it for all of my silly projects now.

(Not posting directly from that instance so I can leave the bot in peace, but federation definitely works because posts from it are getting through to other instances)

First time I heard of migrating from Caddy to Traefik and not the other way around. The usual complaint about Traefik is that it’s too complicated to manage all of the moving parts. I have only used Caddy with Dockerized setups though so I don’t know what the others are like.

Saved this comment. It claims that the Lemmy frontend and backend are stateless and can be scaled arbitrarily, as can the web server. The media server (pict-rs) and Postgres database are the limitations to scaling. I’m working to deploy Lemmy with external object storage to solve media storage scaling and there’s probably some database experts figuring out Postgres optimization and scaling as well. None of the instances are big enough to run into serious issues with vertical scaling yet, so this won’t be a problem for a while.
