How is lemmyworld so stable? (monero.house)
submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

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

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?

I respect anyone working with any amount of databases. Just my selfhosted operation made me realize how fucking complicated and stupid but nessasary databases are
