Hello, i still doesn't quite grasp about the concept of federation and about how fediverse works.
But does it means that one instance can only run from one server?
Say lemmy.world running on Server A lemmy.ml running on Server B
User can register on whichever they want and can see the post from server A and Server B
But when Server A reach maximum capacity, can Server A scale up or distribute the load to multiple instances?
How can we solve the issue of computing power when more and more users migrate to using this services
Thank you π
Sorry if its a dumb question, but the whole Federation concept is still new to me. I created multiple account to log in to beehaw, mastodon, lemmy.world, lemmy.ml at first because i dont know that with one user, i can see other communities from another instances
I'm trying to figure out why I even saw this post! I've never been to lemmy.world - I'm logged in to (and currently browsing) sh.itjust.works. Not sure why it's showing me this post.
Gonna take a while to wrap my redditor brain around this stuff!
That's what we mean when we talk about federation!
All the instances are interconnected (unless they block each other). You can post, vote, comment, and even become a moderator of a community on any other instance.
In many ways, it's all one big site. In many ways it's also not, but to the end user who just wants to browse around, it's not as important as people make it out to be.
There's some rough edges around community discovery, cross-instance linking, etc. But the devs are working hard on fixing those issues.

Seems like you've suddenly got a weight to bare. You're clearly lifting it. π
Are you running this out of your home?
I have self hosted small things before, but I was always curious about lager stuff like this.
What are your internet speeds?

I think some donation flare would be cool to have if you make a donation to an instance. It would help incentivize donations too.
Feels good to be part of the growth of a community!
The site is way more performant following the migration!
Wow, weβre over 12k already
Nice!
thanks for everything you're doing man
Is one donation method preferred over another? That is to say, is one cheaper than the other?
Thank you for doing that! We appreciate having a place to come.
Thanks for being so on top of all these changes! Iβm enjoying my experience here so far.
Great job!
Quick question: when are these changes supposed to take place? ASAP or at a specific time?
