EDIT: we just crossed 30K ๐Ÿฅณ


We are now at 28.5K users (see https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list). The top 10 instances also got a decent boost in user count. With the exception of beehaw.org which defederated, the Fediverse is thriving ๐Ÿ”ฅ

As I understand it the federation protocol is copying all the data from instance to instance. I think data is probably going to be the most taxing part of running a social media site, but since all the data is replicated, there wont be much load sharing there. Each instance will be taking care of the cpu/load requirements of rendering/serving the pages for their users, so there is some scaling benefits there to distribution. Anyway, I'm also still learning as well! I think we all are lol

Yeah, also still learning of course, but that's my understanding of why Beehaw.org defederated. Too much new data getting copied over.
