Any post and community could be accessed through a theoretically limitless amount of instances, which also means a theoretically limitless amount of URLs.

Will this hinder Lemmy from ever coming into the mainstream? If I type any topic in Google, I will get a reddit thread that deals with that. Can something like that ever happen for Lemmy?

Now I'm curious what your stack is? Are you using an elastic database? Have you considered possibly using something like Azure Cognitive Search (hosted Elastic with AI/ML functions to add some NLP to your data/queries)? Bing uses it as part of their backend.

HTML + JavaScript frontend. Rust backend with a postgres database.

It'll be open sourced once I can get the MVP ready.
