jointhefediverse.net seems to be a commonly linked resource for directing people to join the Fediverse.

Curiously, it does not list Lemmy under the list of Reddit alternatives. Their GitHub README explains why.

Any way to migrate a self hosted lemmy instance to piefed?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

No, it's not geared up for that. There's a platform called sublinks where the intention is to be initially compatible enough with Lemmy that it can be a drop-in replacement, but they haven't released anything yet.

Oh interesting, thanks for sharing!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago

just run both!

Python based: I was looking for that

[–] [email protected] 5 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, I don't expect it to scale well. Certainly not as well as Rust.

In terms of incoming federation, PieFed sites are dealing with as much activity as any general Lemmy instance. It's not happened yet, but I suppose it's possible that problems will become apparent if the amount of local users gets over a certain size. A limit on the amount of users per instance isn't necessarily a bad thing though (it's cheap, and hopefully easy enough, for someone to spin up another one).

What's going to cause problems? Python, the db, redis or other?
