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.

Probably, but it's significantly more difficult to set up and maintain, and introduces new problems. I'm sure it'll be considered once they reach the limits of what a single node can handle.

I'm fully aware of the operational challenges involved. What I have not looked into (yet) is whether it is even feasible.

  • What happens to sessions?
  • are there asynchronous jobs that need managing
  • will my DB become a bottleneck long before my instance anyway?

Honestly, the operational side doesn't worry me, I can do that in my sleep. Application level issues I am powerless to solve however.
