This site is currently struggling to handle the amount of new users. I have
already upgraded the server, but it will go down regardless if half of Reddit
tries to join. However Lemmy is federated software, meaning you can interact
seamlessly with communities on other instances like beehaw.org

Maybe I'm crazy however if this is the instance run by developers. Is $30-100/month really impossible to handle? I figured this would be their more exciting time.
Yeah, I'm curious at the scaling problems. 1000 active users isn't that many. Especially if this is touted as being the next reddit. There are many subreddits with orders of magnitude more active users.
