With all the backlash1 surrounding Reddit’s unpopular decision to restrict their API while effectively killing most of the 3rd party apps in the process, many started wondering whether Reddit should remain their “front page of the Internet” and maybe even started to explore alternatives. Background People who have been on the internet for a while might be currently experiencing a bad case of déjá vu. For those who weren’t around back then, Reddit’s biggest user influx has happened at the same time when the core users of Digg (a popular link aggregator of the 10s) started protesting some changes their platform of choice had recently introduced.

      Right, that’s a good point.

      So far it’s working quite well, however for a micro-sized instance it’s no surprise. Worst case scenario I can do the same thing as the admins of lemmy.world did: create a dedicated scheduling pod using the same docker image as the normal ones, but exclude it from the Service’s target, so it won’t receive any incoming traffic.

      The rest of the pods can then be dedicated to serve traffic with their scheduling functionality disabled.
