    Indeed PostgreSQL is not designed for large scale horizontal sharding with eventual consistency. Also ClickHouse is designed for OLAP workloads likely making it even less suitable.

    Regardless of database choice, Lemmy is still centralized. Discussion groups are cached across instances but not truly distributed. This is the big blocker.
