Lemmy.World is rapidly growing, maybe it’s time for some holsters to group together and distribute Thay load to other instances.

Maybe custom ui logic could be made for the sign up page that auto signs you up for an instance that is an official sister instance to the main lemmy.world. it could tell the user why ( to reduce load on a single server) and have a choice for the user to opt out.

Just a thought. I mean I made a new account because I was having trouble posting on my .world account, and I can’t even login to jerboa still.

IMO I think in order to fully utilize part what makes the fediverse great, this should be supported natively. Thoughts? I’d love to hear from the admins and community mods.

    Ah I see.

    Well I think it’s not unreasonable to think that there needs to be a way for an instance’s traffic to be distributed across several servers without solely the admin having to go the traditional CDN route.

    Perhaps people could help by hosting encrypted data stores that could connect to the central instance. They don’t have access to modify or read the data plaintext, but just like a cdn their hosted instances could serve data to clients.
