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.
You mean pictrs can’t scale, or the other pods cannot as well? I separated lemmy-ui, the backend, and pictrs into different pods. Haven’t tried scaling anything yet though, but I did notice the database issue with pictrs when RollingRestart, had to switch to Recreate.
Only pictrs that can’t scale. Lemmy ui and backend seems to be stateless.
Great to hear, that will make it super easy if I start allowing users on my instance.
