I expect lemmy.ml to be hugged to death, but that’s just a DoS.

More interestingly would be how the activitypub network reacts under reddit-like loads and behaviour, and as i understand it, things shouldnt be too bad?

Is lemmy scalable?

    I have some suspicions that the /communities page is dong a live database query to get counts of subscribers and monthly visits (on every hit to the page) and this is putting a heavy load on the SQL database.

    Almost every time I hit this page in the past 48 hours I see > 4 second delay before I get the first page of results. I’m also getting internal errors/failures on loading the page. Typical error is a single line of output: “404: FetchError: request to http://lemmy:8536/api/v3/site
