Hits a 404 now on the link (sh.itjust.works link above), does anyone have a TLDR?

Yes. God tier meme. I have never been a part of the Reddit lotr memes community, but now you have my sword!
Amazing work mlem team! Using it right now and the profile page is indeed gorgeous!
Honestly this community seems to generate even more useful content than r/piracy did for me. Already I’ve learned about 5 great replacements for rargbto, the beauties of torrent aggregator desktop clients, and awesome debrid streaming for iOS via WebDAV. Great stuff
Rust itself or the way the Rust logic is implemented is not the bottleneck. Like most decent web applications the bottleneck is the database and how the decentralized protocols themselves are reconciled there.
Scaling massive amounts of records like Lemmy has been forced to is almost always IO bound at the database level even when a web service is centralized; this is much more difficult in federated architectures. This is why “NoSQL” databases have increased in popularity, but they are also not a magic bullet as there are major ACID trade offs one needs to consider.
I’ve seen other posts say this is a bug introduced in the version of Lemmy deployed yesterday.
It definitely should be a top priority for the team to fix though — it seems to have really exacerbated the problem.
No one has solved a way to make hosting massive amounts of videos cheap, and this is unlikely to happen anytime soon due to the large amount of data storage and bandwidth required.
So no, even if YouTube somehow becomes even more tyrannical than it is it’s unlikely we’ll ever see it decentralized and federated the way Lemmy is in a usable way anytime soon.
Wow such a nice quality of life change!
I been hitting new more lately — honestly such solid content showing up on “new” on Lemmy compared to the trash on Reddit
Would love to checkout the code for this thanks for the suggestion
Just wanted to say thank you for putting this Instance up. It seems lightning fast and I had no trouble logging in, unlike almost all the other Lemmy instances I tried during this mass Reddit exodus.
Really appreciate you @[email protected]!

My non-tech wife tried to tell me “obviously that’s why it’s called that” when I’ve been writing software (and even some minor firmware hacking) for 30 years.
Is this the real life?
