Also I should mention how 💅 it is that @pixelfed is the only fediverse project that supports both MySQL and Postgres (and soon sqlite)

You can also use your database as a queue instead of redis, which is okay for smaller instances

@dansup @pixelfed hey, get back to me when your project supports Redis, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL 😉

@dansup @pixelfed I'm far more comfortable using and scaling MySQL than PostgreSQL so I am happy to see it. I'm curious why PostgresSQL is so popular though my knowledge of how to scale it could be wildly outdated at this point.

@dansup @pixelfed Awesome to see simpler alternative setups (db instead of redis; sqlite) for smaller instances. I hope to see a future where everyone can self-host their fediverse application. This is an important step in that direction.
