At the time of writing, Lemmyworld has the second highest number of active users (compared to all lemmy instances)

https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list

Also at the time of writing, Lemmyworld has >99% uptime.

By comparison, other lemmy instances with as many users as Lemmyworld keep going down.

What optimizations has Lemmyworld made to their hosting configuration that has made it more resilient than other instances' hosting configurations?

I do think join-lemmy.org could possibly be changed to show server usage/capacity and uptime. When I initially signed up I went for lemmy.ml because what the heck is the difference? Honestly I was having all kinds of timeouts and thought the entire lemmy-verse was probably struggling. I was concerned that was the experience everyone was getting that they were going to leave because it is unsustainable.

But I ended up seeing a page showing the uptime of serversnand lemmy.world was 100% (at that point). So I figured I'd start an account here. HOLLY CRAP IT IS SO MUCH FASTER. I would have had a hard time sticking around if it all worked like lemmy.ml.

I started a community on lemmy.ml. Wish I would have done it here.
