It’s surreal that some random project i made because i was bored is now gaining some traction and is being hosted on large instances.

Are you typing lemdro.id into the box? Keep it all lower case. What is it showing you?

Is lemdro.id just a frontend? Is it not attached to a particular instance?

Lemdro.id is an instance but each instance can host mutliple frontends if they like.

It is an Instance.

Lemmy.world also hosts Voyager at https://m.lemmy.world and MLMYM at https://old.lemmy.world

It is an instance. This post is in the !android@lemdro.id community of the lemdro.id instance, for example. There’s also !askandroid@lemdro.id or !google@lemdro.id, to name a few

As mentioned by others, it’s a specific instance but with multiple frontends. The main LemmyUI is just one of them!

lemdro.id is just a frontend, however it does have a special shortcut to the backend that allows it to function better under heavy load (on lemdro.id specifically)

Can you elaborate?

Yes! There are 3 different “types” of Lemmy backends in our infrastructure. “scheduled” types, of which there can only be one, run scheduled federation traffic as well as some smaller load balanced load of requests. The “external” type handles generic requests same as “scheduled” except without scheduled federation tasks. These can spin up or down all the way to 0, as sometimes the scheduled instance can handle everything on its own.

Finally, there is “internal”. These are dedicated backend instances that are not publicly exposed and therefore do not handle any federation traffic at all. Lemmy-ui communicates with this internal backend, meaning that our UI has a path that is entirely separate to the federation traffic and should stay responsive no matter what!

I think they mean whether the entirety of lemdro.id is just a webapp like vger.app, rather than an instance as well.

Yep. They are all great. Photon is my favourite so far. Sleek & Fast with a Black & White theme. But they are still a Work in Progress amd lack features. I tried them a week ago. I always end up reverting back to lemdro.id
