My main point was that if there’s one subreddit that should of migrated fully to lemmy… it would be them. Practice what you preach. Granted they are probably one of the larger communities here on lemmy.

You could use android phones and apps, but I would also recommend checking out raspberri pi’s. They are essentially tiny computers at about the same scale as a phone. Low power usage, quiet, and you can do quite a lot with them!

Meanwhile… At r/selfhosted…

Thanks for the detailed reply!

Yeah, I’m trying to figure this out from a high availability standpoint. I guess the next question would be if all the servers are operating on the same out-of-sync server, probably not, as those servers aren’t connected together, they are just connected to the now-offline server. I wonder if the server comes back up if it propagates or trys to re-sync. Seems like we would have issues either way, and the best bet is finding an instance with good availability.

I was kind of hoping that if an instance subscribed to another instance’s community, then the originating instance can go down without effecting the community because another instance is now acting as the backup.

I’m also concerned if Lemmy as an application can support a large user base.

So if lemmy.ml subscribed to lemmy.world, and world shut down with no warning, provided you aren’t a lemmy.world account, you can still access and make content on the world communities? Has this been tested?
