Things got much nicer in Mastodon when a user could migrate instances. The problem with all of Server A blocking all of Server B is it's very difficult for a user on Server B to migrate.

I have similar questions. I've noticed it's incredibly easy for me to crash Lemmy and then it is down for a second or two while it reboots. I'm not sure if that's what's causing the couple-second downtimes that I keep seeing on larger instances.
Browsing Lemmy on my small instance has been a pleasure though.
I’d love to see feedback from admins on the scaling problems they are having. Hopefully that scales per server and not per user per server.
The vast majority of servers run Linux and the simplest way to deploy services is with containers. Unix and Windows are much less supported and even running outside containers is fading away.
If you are interested, it may be simpler to spin up a small Linux VM.
It may be worth taking a look at https://lemmyverse.net/communities to see if you can find anything you are interested in.
