    One worry I have is the opposite scale. Active user growth have been pretty linear so far, but the network effect is pushing user activity growth at a higher rate.

    But there is still under 100 kbin servers.

    If there is a burst of new users and post activity after the API change, will the system be able to scale up fast enough to cope?

      Knob is mainly just aggregating Lemmy and Mastodon. So it does not need so many servers. Lemmy has surpassed 1000 servers a few days ago.

      We will get there.

        It’s the number of users logging in and hitting those servers that’s the main issue. 44,000 users is a lot for one instance to be pushing content to. I wouldn’t say it’s just aggregating Lemmy content either though, there are plenty of popular communities on kbin as well, including this one.

        Plenty of magazines and content over here on Kbin, it’s certainly not just an aggregator.
