Hey guys, just curious, can we have multiple nodes for the same lemmy instance? If not, is this something that’s on the radar?

This would really help alleviate the load on a single server and make things much more stable and help with availability. I’m not sure if this functionality exists or if it is planned. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks!

    There was also some previous discussion about using a S3 compatible image host as the Pict-rs backend added support for that in the latest version v0.4.x

    Lemmy is still using 0.3.x and 0.4.x is untested I think, and by default Pict-rs is proxied through the Lemmy backend server I think, but in theory it should be possible to distribute quite some load this way.
