#Fediverse growing pains: The smallish #PeerTube and #Funkwhale instances I use have gotten big enough that handling all of the data is starting to cause issues, slowdowns and whatnot. The reality of distributed/federated computing coming home to roost?
To be honest, the problem is a lot more pronounced with media sharing than with microblogging. I wonder if that's one reason why there's been a lot more proliferation of microblogging sites on Fedi versus media sharing sites - running your own instance involves a greater investment to handle streaming and storage.
Media storage is going to be an issue for #Pinetta too; it's a can that we've been kicking down the road for a while now.
