I've been in Lemmy for a month and I'm quite enjoy using the service.

However, after the mass migration on both Reddit and Twitter, I feel like the services are now significantly slower than they used to be. So I'm wondering whether I should have some kind of personal CDN/relay service for "caching" information especially medias or just create a new instace and federated to public Lemmy instance?

FYI, I have a private OpenVPN served on DO and 1L "server" that run Proxmox for existing services to my home. Should be okay to have a Nginx reverse proxy, right?

I would think that updating 50.000 Lemmy instances would have a similar performance effect of 50.000 Lemmy users browsing one instance. In that case instance with one user won't benefit the Fedeverse, but shouldn't be an issue either.

Only if the users are browsing All their watched communities 24/7. Otherwise they would only be producing load when they're interacting with Lemmy.
