Hello, all. I'm considering creating a Lemmy instance in order to facilitate migration of a moderately sized reddit community to the fediverse.

The community is about 150k users with around 1.5M pageviews per month.

I don't expect everyone to come with the migration, but I would expect a significant portion to do so. Perhaps half.

How do I go about capacity planning / sizing for such an instance? Is Lemmy designed to operate at this scale?

Thanks for your input.

Glad that known issues are being addressed. Ideally I wouldn't be treading new ground but rather deploying existing known patterns and best practices. But it seems like this would be a departure from existing installations. Thanks for your input.
