everyone tomorrow: "why is the lemmy.ml instance down?"
I was actually wondering if Reddit might DDOS Lemmy.
They cant take down everyone. Thats the point of all the instances
However, it will lead to endless frustrations if one of the biggest instances with the most federated content goes down hard. You can't access or post to federated communities who's home instance is dead, which means the content goes poof.
There's a lot of danger in the performance scaling of Lemmy, the developers are going to have one hell of a job on their hands.
Its kind of exciting
Yeah, the mastodon devs had the same problem when everyone moved from twitter.
