It'll calm down as in more resources are provisioned or redditors looking to ditch reddit give up and go back to reddit because of stability issues, thus lowering use count closer to normal?
Because the later isn't ideal ๐ฌ
I have business fiber and my own compute, can nodes be ran distributed? I'd be happy to spin up VMs to run a node service. Or does this rely on a single central host?
You can host your own instance, which will be federated with this one by default. Every little bit helps.
Can you tell me more?
Can we have distributed compute? Is there some official process to be federated with lemmy.world to provide resources? How do upgrades work? I assume some sort of consensus algorithm is in use (ie. Raft)?
It's not distributed computing, they are different servers independent from each other but that replicate data among them because they use the same communication protocol (ActivityPub), that's what federation does.
