How is lemmyworld so stable? (monero.house)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/lemmyworld

116 comments fedilink hide all child comments

At the time of writing, Lemmyworld has the second highest number of active users (compared to all lemmy instances)

https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list

Also at the time of writing, Lemmyworld has >99% uptime.

By comparison, other lemmy instances with as many users as Lemmyworld keep going down.

What optimizations has Lemmyworld made to their hosting configuration that has made it more resilient than other instances' hosting configurations?

something that dark basement tech nerds would come up with that is “edgy” and really only used by them and other people like them.

That's exactly what it is and why I love it. The whole thing about this federated networking is that it doesn't matter where you signed up.

Where you sign up entirely determines your local feed.

Just like with reddit, I don't use defaults.

The least useful of the three feeds

Depending on where you sign up, it could be the most useful.

Where you sign up greatly effects moderation and administration issues like updating the software the instance runs on to benefit from security fixes, optimizations, and enhancements.
