    Moving more processes to be asynchronous make sense. As that’s also how Reddit’s backend works.

    Sort of an unrelated question, but are Lemmy instances specifically designed to work on top of Postgres? Or could they technically use “any” database?

      On GitHub, I specifically saw one of the two leaders comment that they have no intention of supporting anything other that PostgreSQL when a new contributor was asking about portability to another database… within the last week.
