MODERATORS
Lemmy's would benefit from scaling horizontally (more instances) instead of vertically (bigger instances)
Not necessarily. New users gravitate towards established, large instances, such as lemmy.world and lemmy.ml. Expanding horizontally would just create a few laggy and overflowing instances, and a bunch of tiny instances no one uses.
And once the devs can't maintain server costs, they should shut down new registrations.
There's no need to charge for servers
