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.

Unfortunately, the reality is that it may become necessary.

Donations can be a saving grace if enough people donate regularly. But such is dependent on people's willingness, their own financial stability, and how stressed servers are (how much it'll cost to upgrade and/or maintain infrastructure.)

It's great if it's viable. Means there's less outside influence. But that's if.

As far as I'm aware, Wikipedia has been able to maintain it purely off donations. But I'm not sure if Lemmy could.

Maybe? One thing Lemmy does have going for it is that the majority of users seem to be aware how... Fragile? the fediverses can be. There's arguably more passion behind the users and maybe willing to throw support out.

But hard to say.

6k now.

Tell me about this "Digg." It sounds so familiar, but I don't think I actually ever used anything called Digg.

Chili does sound like it'd be better with rice though.

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.

If nothing else you struck my curiosity.

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

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.

Do you think Lemmy knows what a "JPEG" is? It just wants a picture of a god dang hotdog.

Weird, thought I was on this account when I made the comment.
