I have seen some instances asking for donations, which is surprising considering they’re not asking for a lot, but also that they’ve made it so far if relatively light expenses are troublesome. Seems like even a boom in new Fediversers could actually be detrimental to some instances in the short-term, but I don’t really understand how it all works.
yep, theres definitely a scaling issue. the lemmy hug of death has taken down a few instances. i suspect there is capacity to double the users on the small instances without too much hassle, but if the numbers got ridiculous it could be… challenging.
i kinda hope the bridging over to blueksky gets a little more fluid so we can attract users from that market. im runnin mbin, which includes the twitter-like crap (microblog).
