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?

    That’s basically what I’m doing. A singleton instance for Pict-rs and Postgres. Multiple compute nodes for Lemmy and Lemmy-ui being accessed over load balancers. All of data is placed on distributed storage so I can quickly fail-over Pict-rs or Postgres if needed. It’s enough for now, though I don’t think it could handle Reddit levels of traffic.
