Hi! Newbie to the fediverse/lemmy here. (Reddit lurker refugee)
Question, what’s the top capacity of the Aussie server as it stands in terms of users? How scalable are these servers generally?
Congrats on setting up a new community board with quick engagement!
Good questions, I’m honestly not sure. As it stands, the server has lots of scale to grow… just a matter of paying OVH more to upgrade it. I don’t expect it to be an issue for us… upgrading the server is relatively quick, just requires a server reboot.
Some larger instances have previously posted their user numbers and when they’ve upgraded… but its in the 10s of thousands, we’re a long way from that being a problem.
