How will lemmy instances survive if they get too big?

Reply in thread

There is a lot of debate on whether or not small instances help or make it worse, mostly due to how Lemmy handles pushing updates.

The main consensus is that joining a small to medium sized instance would have the smallest footprint on Lemmy.

That being said, Lemmy has a lot more developers working on it now it has all this attention and now they can see where Lemmy struggles on large instances, so what is true today may not be true in the future.

Crowdsec will analyse the logs from your reverse proxy and identify malicious actors, bots and whatever else you configure it to. It then tells a "bouncer" (part of your reverse proxy) to reject the request, block the IP or redirect them to a captcha.

The downside is that it's kinda a pain to get set up, at least in my experience. It also stopped working without informing me and I've never been able to get it working again since. If you don't use docker the experience might be a bit easier.
