I think this is not only the most upvoted post on Lemmy, but beanposting effectively tested the network and worst case system performance by hitting the database from everywhere at the same time. The fact that Lemmy didn’t go down is in itself an amazing feat considering it’s never been tested at this scale before. Even if the servers are unstable it shows that the idea is sound.
Where is the traffic coming from? Everywhere, it’s coming from everywhere!
At 6.18k upvotes, this is higher than the most upvoted Reddit post in July 2008, three years after its launch. Lemmy.world is like, one month old as far as I know?
Lemmy is actually a few years old now. I couldn’t find exactly when it was started, but it was at least 3 years ago. Although from my understanding it was a fairly barren place until it obviously blew up a month ago
Lemmy.world only started in June though, that’s what I was referring to. Although yes, if you count the whole “lemmyverse” as a single platform it’s pretty much as old as Reddit was at the time.

My mistake! I misread your comment, thinking you said just Lemmy instead of Lemmy.world
The traffic is coming from… inside the house!
