    Not bad. I’d like to see it grow to at least 500K. Reddit got too big when they became mainstream about 5 years ago. Was a good size twelve years ago when I first joined.

    Will be nice to see a wave of Apollo users come over now their app has stopped working.

    Awesome, I’d like to see lemmy be successful. Not exactly a reddit replacement as there was a lot of toxicity there. But like a more positive community.

      I think there’s a limit to how big lemmy can grow because it’s hosted on many small instances instead of one big cdn. There’s only so many people willing to host an instance.

        Actually quite the opposite, if there are more instances, and they are fairly well balanced the load is shared between them - yes there is some inefficiency, but each server still has less load than if you tried to put all the content and users on one server.

        As for how many are willing… There are now over 10,000 Mastodon instances, and many of them are on servers which now have spare capacity (there was a spike in load after Musk first started doing silly things at Twitter, this has reduced a bit since). I think quite a few Mastodon admin are considering spinning up Lemmy and/or kbin too. Mastodon/Lemmy/kbin all integrate with each other and the wider fediverse.

          People think that decentralised networks can’t scale because they don’t understand that that is exactly how the internet works.
