It would make a great stress test though when suddenly millions join Lemmy :)
Reddit chose a very bad time to mess up, right when we're in the middle of coding some of our biggest performance improvements. They timed this perfectly to make things as stressful as possible for nutomic and I lol.
Has there been any work / planning around an ability for third parties to setup broadcast servers to help distribute the load? I know that kind of thing is extremely difficult but maybe it would be a reasonable effort for handling read only requests. I haven't had a chance to look into lemmy's architecture yet so not sure if this is a valid question or not :)
Not that I know of.
