In a normal, nonfederated site, sure. But when you throw instances on top of it, it gets a bit more complex.

On another note, I don’t believe we’re gonna get a lot of people coming here who aren’t redditors.

Ya need some miralax.

Family Guy.

Yeah, “community” is kinda bland.

And I feel it has the potential to make newbies confused with instance.

I feel like most of the problem would be physical hardware. Costly servers that would need to be able to meet Lemmy’s growing demands.

I’m not sure how much optimization from the software side can be done to reduce resource requirements. There’s certainly things that can be done to improve user experience though.

One aspect I’d love (and is apparently in the works) is swapping instances while keeping your history. A migration tool of sorts. Would help.

Still the roughness is sorta endearing in its own way. But I don’t think it’d be endearing to most people.

I noticed you talked about the load balancer being a person. Sounds like it’d be better if it was a bot. They just see which pool is currently the emptiest and put them there, right?

Although you seem to be suggesting live instance swapping. Which might be possible in the future. Right now appears to be tied to registration.

They’re definitely shit posts.

Haven’t saw any human beans. Yet, at least.

I’m just trying to find the snack bar.

I’m not sure I’m following.

Wouldn’t this load balancer be swapping the user’s current instance user420@lemmy.world may suddenly become user420@lemm.ee?

Or more like multiple servers within the same umbrella instance? User420@lemmy.world, User420@lemmy.world1, User420@lemmy.world2, User420@lemmy.world3.

Apologies, while I think myself fairly tech savvy, development and networking is still a bit out of reach.

I think Lemmy’s biggest challenges are server stability, increased complexity to use (most don’t understand things like instances), and low awareness from others. I only learned about it a day or two ago. Signed up out of curiosity.

But if Lemmy gets even more popular then the various popular instances are going to be stressed. It looks unstable to newcomers who go back to Reddit.

I signed up for lemmy.world originally, constantly had Gateway errors. Lemm.ee seems more stable due to lower traffic.

But others may not be able to recognize that. Even if they did, might not want to create new accounts for several instances and go back to starting from 0.

Thankfully, they’ll remind you wh- oh wait.

Always some going off in early July and late June.

I can only imagine what terror will be committed by the “God of Fuck,” Jack.

Would it be classier of a can of beans was wearing a suit or tuxedo?

Hopefully, World gets its stability worked out.

Imagine it requires better hosting, which can be costly.

Wants to know your blood type.

How clean your bedroom is.

For now, anyway.

Shame about World’s stability issues. Probably brought on by its popularity.
