if million users moves to lemmy, someone would immediately go to server room with veggie peeler and turn (current) potato servers into fries. this would mean load increase of few times over
Lemmy isn’t one server room. I’m not gonna pretend to know enough about it too understand how a million new users would affect the platform as a whole, but if they are spread across instances as intended (which hasn’t worked perfectly so far, admittedly), things should be ok.
Doesn’t matter if not all of them come over at once. There’ll be enough people to ensure that threaded Fediverse communities can remain active, and as spez does more and more to flush Reddit down the toilet we’ll be ready.
I hope a fair few move over, but I’m afraid the number of 3rd party app users is lower than we anticipate
No matter hoe you put it, it’s still a few million at least
