  • DNS-Names are not bound/specific to a protocol/service type. Of course some might fit better for a serivce, e.g. the top level domain “.im” fits “Instant Messaging” (e.g xmpp, matrix …) services well. But still you could host a Website (https-protocol) on the same address. The list of valid top level domains is not static. new TLDs are being approved constantly. This means e.g. “.world” is a valid Top Level Domain but not many/big services use it for now, so it is rather unknown.







  • Hey, what do you mean by “scale horizontally”? There are multiple approaches to tackle this.

    • Have multiple nodes/pods for the same instance and run them on a cloud-like service provider
    • have RO-instances to handle to read-load
    • share/merge bigger communities/subs over multiple instances
    • … All of these requiere most likely a major rewrite/change of Lemmy server software I guess. In my opinion the first option would fit the most.
