Its now running on a dedicated server with 6 cores/12 threads and 32 gb ram. I hope this will be enough for the near future. Nevertheless, new users should still prefer to signup on other instances.

This server is financed from donations to the Lemmy project. If you want to support it, please consider donating.

    Is it possible to horizontally scale these instances instead of just upping the machine hardware? What are the main performance bottlenecks typically?

      Hey, what do you mean by “scale horizontally”? There are multiple approaches to tackle this.

      • Have multiple nodes/pods for the same instance and run them on a cloud-like service provider
      • have RO-instances to handle to read-load
      • share/merge bigger communities/subs over multiple instances
      • … All of these requiere most likely a major rewrite/change of Lemmy server software I guess. In my opinion the first option would fit the most.
