So, single server scaled vertically? Gross.

  Is it /s? If not, deploying a kubernetes cluster and over engineering it?

  HN runs on a single core. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29927630 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29927630

    HN has a lot of optimizations and limitations on the user experience. For example, I don't see the scores of every other post on HN - and certainly don't see them updated in realtime. New comments and posts show up when I reload the page - not as I scroll. There's only one HN instance - without having 100 more instances trying to mirror the content (just one - firebase). ... and HN is an example of a single, centralized, unfederated server.

  The default Lemmy deployment docs don't have a lot of breathing room. It would be reasonable to break off the postgres server Lemmy uses to a separate server, but at the moment there is only an Ansible playbook or a docker compose file, both of which assume a single server. There's only so much time in the day and it's much easier to size up than reimplement the install process.
