Let's hope so! I wish for a slow but steady growth.

I fear that we wont be so lucky. If a million people try to check out Lemmy at once, all the instances can go down.

True, I've seen larger websites go down due to Reddit's "hug of death". I imagine that even the limited blackout will take down the more popular instances.

I setup my own instance and will be doubling the resources allocated to it before the 12th. Ill be documenting how it handles whatever is sent my way
