EDIT: we just crossed 30K 🥳

We are now at 28.5K users (see https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list). The top 10 instances also got a decent boost in user count. With the exception of beehaw.org which defederated, the Fediverse is thriving 🔥

@AlmightySnoo fediverse is supposed to scale with more servers, not bigger servers

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (13 children)

Rather, more instances, not servers. An instance can scale out using as many servers as the owner can tolerate.

I certainly wouldn’t want to be the one managing a horizontally scaled fediverse instance on a cloud platform though, that shit adds up fast, and no way in hell is anyone going to donate here.

I honestly don’t get how that’s supposed to work indefinitely, that’s usually where ad money comes in and… god dammit we’re back to square one lol. I’m here for a good time, not a long time 😎

@corytheboyd By "more servers" I mean "more instances".

I figured, just saw my chance and shot my shot for the passers by

@corytheboyd Other fedi projects changed their public terminology to use "servers" instead of "instances", which is why I said "more servers".

Noted, thanks. Honestly, in conversation I use server and instance interchangeably anyway, so I mooted my own point lol
