At the time of writing, Lemmyworld has the second highest number of active users (compared to all lemmy instances)

Also at the time of writing, Lemmyworld has >99% uptime.

By comparison, other lemmy instances with as many users as Lemmyworld keep going down.

What optimizations has Lemmyworld made to their hosting configuration that has made it more resilient than other instances’ hosting configurations?

    I originally signed up with sh.itjust.works, but I wanted to be on the instance with the majority of migrants.

    Also, it sounds dumb, but I think the sh.itjust.works domain is just kinda weird, technically has a “curse word” in it (not that I personally care), and they don’t support NSFW content (which isn’t just used for porn). So, it didn’t make sense to have that as my home instance. 🤷‍♂️

    Edit: Also, this is my first comment on here! Hello world! 👋

      Yeah, I get it. Naming optics aside, it seems an instance with a lot of headroom relative to others, with a capable team. Would be near the top of my word-of-mouth options in spite of the idiosyncratic name.
