A few weeks ago Lemmy was buggy on computers and there were no good mobile clients out there, now on PC the site is pretty stable and fast, and there are now some pretty good iOS/Android clients too. Thanks to all the people who made this possible!

Why? And who pays for that?
Why not? I don’t see the drawback to develop ability to do horizontal scaling. If the instance owner doesn’t want to add additional servers, it’s up to them. Obviously they paid for it if they decide to add.
Just to be clear, horizontal scaling means multiple servers handling same instance, it can be the backend service to allow handling more traffics, or multiple db to reduce database loads.
Additionally it allows high availabilities, so if one of the backend service is down (either unexpectedly or do rolling update) the other service can still active so the instance can still be accessed by users
