I've very curious if Lemmy could scale to sizes similar to Reddit. Would that require creating multiple instances? Is there a max active users that an instance could handle? Is there a way to load balance between servers?

I suspect this hasn't been done since Lemmy just recently exploded in popularity.

There are no "limits" provided by the Lemmy devs. This is new territory for them as well. Lemmy is getting more popular and they never had this many users on an instance.

And no, currently load balancing is not an option. This because Lemmy is built out of different pieces and they don't all scale well. So when you deploy a lemmy instance it's one backend, one ui, one pctrs and one database.

I'm sure they are working on that too. At least I hope so!
