📣 Apollo will close down on June 30th. Reddit’s recent decisions and actions have unfortunately made it impossible for Apollo to continue. Thank you so, so much for all the support over the years. ❤️(reddit.com)

this is funny because lemmy admin actually hopes reddit to reverse the decision. lemmy server isn’t ready even by just only adding 500k user

But the new users can join any lemmy server and still interact with everyone, so ideally the load would be distributed throughout all the instances instead of making one of them overloaded.

Yes but even 40k users per instance requires substantial amount of resources right now to keep things not-stuttering. And Apollo has millions of users. So we’d need 200 new instances as big as the largest ones we already have. And that’s assuming activity pub caching is already ironed out. Idk if it is.

That’s a good point! I think we usually hear about millions of users and don’t realize the scale you need to serve the thousands that’d be in each instance…
