Have you ever looked into the tech behind Lemmy? The way it’s set up it is already at a breaking point for non-profit instances.
If Lemmy had Reddit size, it would literally crash and burn, and the problems are on a concept level, so they could only be fixed by trashing the whole concept and rewriting from scratch.
There is nothing that can’t be scaled, that’s what each community is on its own separate stack. Imo this is perfectly positioned to scale independently.
If some community can’t scale - they should put that in a community message " we can’t accept content because we can’t scale", I’m sure someone will take over
This is not how Lemmy works. This is not how anything about Lemmy works. Please, look at how ActivityPub works, what instances are, what communities are, when content from a community is copied to another instance and how scaling on Lemmy works.
Come back to continue the discussion when you have an idea what you are talking about.
