At the time of writing, Lemmyworld has the second highest number of active users (compared to all lemmy instances)
Also at the time of writing, Lemmyworld has >99% uptime.
By comparison, other lemmy instances with as many users as Lemmyworld keep going down.
What optimizations has Lemmyworld made to their hosting configuration that has made it more resilient than other instances’ hosting configurations?

I definitely second the motion on it being a branding problem. Stuff like sh.itjust.works seem to me like something that dark basement tech nerds would come up with that is “edgy” and really only used by them and other people like them.
