Its now running on a dedicated server with 6 cores/12 threads and 32 gb ram. I hope this will be enough for the near future. Nevertheless, new users should still prefer to signup on other instances.

This server is financed from donations to the Lemmy project. If you want to support it, please consider donating.

Ah awesome. The database horizontal scaling is a solved problem already luckily, especially an enterprise database like PostgreSQL has lots of options there.

as developers we would rather focus on optimizations which will benefit everyone, not only the largest instances.

Oh sure, but being able to horizontally scale shouldn't hurt small instances ๐Ÿ˜‰ Personally I'd probably host a single-user instance at some point just like I do with Mastodon, so I personally don't really have a need for horizontal scaling either but it's good to think of those things.
