If there is one thing that is going to shitcan Lemmy it’s when the most popular instances of communities are on a server that is as stable as a Qanon voter from Georgia.
That’s bound to happen though. Definitely not just a server problem. Lemmy.world is basically stress testing the Lemmy code. Having to scale from hundred of users to hundred thousands during the course of a month is obviously going to mean issues.
Some due to world, some due to bugs in Lemmy and some due to efficient ways to run an instance is still being found out. Sooner or later it had to happen.
Yeah, I’m okay with putting up with some instability for now because I’m just cool like that. But most people are skeptical of the fediverse to begin with. If they do give it a chance, and stuff isn’t functioning well, they’re likely to just bounce off it entirely.
