@[email protected] just wondering if you have considered setting up a second, beta, instance of lemmy.world open to the public?
With all the performance issues with 0.18.1, it's highlighted that there needs to be a way to stress test these updates before applying them to the main instance.
Is there a way to have two instances writing to the same db? That'd help a lot in this situation so the test instance can still be accessing the same data as the stable instance. Otherwise we'll never have enough load to fully stress test and be in the same situation as the three existing Lemmy test instances.
Seeing that with these updates often come with changes to the database as well, that could be very difficult if not impossible.
