To add to what others have said, the real source of load is browsing. It’s much better than a few months ago, but it is still the case that users actively on the web frontend is the biggest load.

If you are actively using a single digit number of accounts simultaneously, no issue. A bot farm using 100,000 users simultaneously is a big problem.

Would need some kind of server setting to specify categorisation. Maybe open a GitHub issue for a server setting to do this, and then it could be displayed in the join-lemmy site

Nope. You would just have to subscribe to each community you want before it can hit your All feed. Communities don’t get pulled in until at least 1 person on the instance subscribes.

Hah! Called it.

I feel like there’s a lot of money on the table for the first person to set up a turnkey hosting platform for Lemmy. Something like MoltenHosting but for Lemmy instead of Foundry.

Just wrote a big post about Lemmy Vs kbin’s, so I don’t have to write it twice :)) https://kbin.social/m/asklemmy@lemmy.ml/t/9489/-/comment/40195

Lol. There’s gonna be a lot of heads exploding when people realize what the fediverse is and how it works.
