How is lemmyworld so stable? (monero.house)

At the time of writing, Lemmyworld has the second highest number of active users (compared to all lemmy instances)

https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list

Also at the time of writing, Lemmyworld has >99% uptime.

By comparison, other lemmy instances with as many users as Lemmyworld keep going down.

What optimizations has Lemmyworld made to their hosting configuration that has made it more resilient than other instances' hosting configurations?

Interesting, I'm new on Lemmy (and fediverse itself), but when you said server does it means the backend that handles frontend traffic or database that stores all the data? Seems the next optimization step is distributing the traffic to multiple servers.

Also (again I don't know about the lemmy system itself), maybe you can get away with just upgrading CPU cores only or RAM only (depends on what bottlenecking the system). From my experience, the RAM requirement is scaling slower compared to CPU
