There’s also a financial problem here. Money is needed to scale vertically or horizontally. Are the admins of lemmy.ml paying out of pocket currently? With current donations would they be able to scale?
I still don’t fully get how the federated thing works. Would it help with scaling and keeping costs low for lemmy.ml? I know you offload the user creation and frontend stuff to another server, but say if I use anotherlemmy.xyz to mainly interact with communities of lemmy.ml would that take a significant load off of lemmy.ml?
