I'm thinking about kbin/lemmy here, but my understanding is that every instance has to maintain a copy not just of the magazines/communities it hosts but also every other one its users subscribe to? So in a worst case scenario, the storage requirements would grow in sort of an N-squared fashion, would they not? If all of reddit wound up here, that's a lot of storage.
I guess the idea is that a smaller instance would only have to manage some subset of magazines of interest to its membership. But all it would take would be some bots sneaking in there and subscribing to everything, sort of like the kid who hits every button on the elevator.
I'm not sure what the solution is? I think it's good to have more than one copy of any given magazine/community kicking around in case its host instance goes dark/defederates/whatever. But maybe there is some sort of middle ground? Like perhaps a somewhat torrent-like scheme for backup where instances can contribute as much storage/bandwidth as is realistic for them? I'm not sure how that would work, but you would somehow want to ensure that there are a few redundant copies of every community distributed across all instances. And of course an instance could still go on caching the more active communities for practical reasons.

Fediverse scaled millions of users in November with the #TwitterMigration. Many servers upped their userbase by a factor of 20 times or more. I think you should be asking if tech nerds can do that fricken awesome a job on donations, why are corporations so bad at handling a mild blip like a sporting event mildly increasing traffic in 1 part of the world?
I just found another place called Squabbles which seems like a mix of twitter and reddit, with posts and communities but threaded like twitter for its discussions. Is it part of the fediverse? or is it its own thing?

Quick over view of major #Fediverse projects. It's millions of people bigger than the #Threadiverse parts. #Lemmy mostly sees the reddit like #Threadiverse parts, #Kbin sees much more of the rest of the Fediverse as well. Things evolve fast here in Fedi, dev pace can often be a lot faster than in the corporate silos. https://jointhefediverse.net/join

Not based on ads, algorithms, rage farming. That has a pervasive positive effect on the Fediverse & how people interact here.

Don't tell people "it's easy", and seven more things Kbin, Lemmy, and the fediverse can learn from Mastodon (UPDATED) (privacy.thenexus.today)
I had shared an earlier version of this last week, and a draft of the updates a few days ago. Thanks to everybody for the feedback!...
By now it'll be easily past 700k users in the #RedditMigration. (media.readit.buzz)
