Lemmy

lemmy.ml should be a roundrobin dns that sends you to a random instance in the pool. Or else you will re-centralize lemmy and curmble under the IT bill.

Is scaling the server a largely financial issue, or not? @nutomic@lemmy.ml

could you reasonably confidently say that you could 10x the amount of users for something like 1000$/mo on liberapay?
If so, would you mind setting a "goalpost" for the community to help lift the financial burden?

Ok. I have what might be a strange question. Can you host a server but disable community creation (even if only temporarily)? So, the server would essentially just be a platform from which others could access content published elsewhere in the Fediverse. I'm assuming the load would then be on the database behind my instance, correct?

I'm a Platform/Cloud/DevOps Engineer (the titles are always changing) working in software. I'm reasonably sure I could host an instance to help out without much difficulty. But I'm not sure I'm ready to jump into the moderator role, though I realize I'll need to deal with those who break some basic rules.

Crashing with 994 users online?

that's not a good look

Beehaw has a concerning financial post at the top of their frontpage that may indicate they might struggle too when the massive wave of Reddit exodus occurs.

I guess I have to figure out what instances to suggest to people. I do find that direct instance suggestions is the way to go, so I guess I gotta write up a list.

Ideally, some pre-existing communities on Reddit would create their own instances similar to how often they have their own Discords, and have large amounts of users migrate that way. But there's a huge, wide, amount of technical difference between those two things. You can't exactly easily find capable Lemmy admins.

@ devs:

Can you please focus your work on optimising performance for the UI? It will greatly reduce the amount of electricity and money spent, so you're actually multiplying every tenth of a second you can shave off of CPU time...

Thank you a lot for writing this software. It's been a great little project so far and it seems to go down the Mastodon route of increased popularity. Be proud!

I run a general purpose, (currently) single-user instance as of yesterday. It will be funded through end of 2023 and then I'll probably beg for donations if I host other users. https://links.dartboard.social

This is hosted on Digital Ocean and I can scale up CPU/RAM/Storage/Bandwidth as needed. (I already did once)

If anybody else is lost and wants a basic general-purpose home for their account, https://lemm.ee is on good hardware and open for signups.

I like to call Lemmy "Feddit".

I signed up on lemmy org uk originally (day or 2 ago) and now it seems to be gone. If I could have kept my account some how that would have been better, but here I am instead.

I applied for behaw about 24 hours ago without response nor success logging in. Wondering if they have temporarily suspended applications?

Oooh so this is why it's lagging extremely, guess I'll go on the grad for a few days, or weeks

Can I login to another instance with my lemmy.ml account? Or do I need multiple accounts?
