Curious, what % of redditors can the current fediverse instances handle?

I am curious what % of user can the current lemmy instances take in from reddit

Can fediverse take on 30%, 50% or 100%?

For start, what are lemmy.ml and lemmy.world doing, are they just keep scaling up?

Out of curiosity, what's the current hardware?

How are you paying for this? Is lemmy.world controlled by you as a private individual? Is this going to be transferred to some sort of non-profit, or business entity? What are the options where you are at? Have you considered the legal aspects of various locations, (e.g. free speech protections, reach of law enforcement, etc)? Since this has the potential to blow up, now is the time to start thinking about these things?

That's a lot of questions :-) Quick answers:

  • It's being paid by donations (see homepage for links)
  • It's owned by me and run by a team of sysadmins/mods
  • I might think of a non-profit for all my Fediverse servers one day. For now I'm using my BV (dutch company).
  • Still looking into the legal stuff, also for Mastodon. Working with https://about.iftas.org
