Can anyone give me a link to donate to help out? Ever since discovering lemmy I hardly use reddit and would like to contribute to this community more!

Its amazing this site hasn't completely melted down yes it sucks trying to use it and having nothing load but the fact that the site has mostly worked when I want to use it and the fact you guys have less than 1% of 1% of reddits resources is mind blowing

Y’all doing amazing things keeping us going 🔥

Thanks again for all the hard work on Lemmy World. It feels fast today

Thanks for the update, you're leading the way for Lemmy.

I was prepared for servers crashing and lagging, but you're keeping things moving thus far, despite receiving 85k new users in a month. Heroic stuff.

Thanks for the transparency, and communication. I think it's always better when the userbase is able to understand what is going on rather than being left in the dark wondering what is going wrong. Keep up the good work, but also be sure to you guys get enough rest, and take care of yourselves too.

around 25GB RAM usage. (That is, if we restart Lemmy every 30 minutes. Else memory will go to 100%)

25 GB of RAM????? Looks like your instance is the edge case with Lemmy's scalability, when there's really big amount of active users. Looks like some problems won't fade with really high-grade hardware. But I have to appreciate, that's one gargantuan job!

I expect it is federation outbound activity growing in memory usage, it's all held in RAM for every post/comment/like going out to subscribed servers. !lemmyperformance@lemmy.ml is a community for the focus on scaling Lemmy.

I totally appreciate all of your efforts! Thank you for being a pioneer.

What sort of container orchestration and database tools are you using? Maybe you need some sys admin help?

This has been such a refreshing change from reddit! I'm willing to deal with occasional hiccups, and I know it will only get better with time. Keep it up!

Thank you to you and everyone behind the scenes working hard to make Lemmy a great place. I am turkey enjoying the experience even with the bugs. Brings back a ton of nostalgia with modern mixed in.

Thanks for keeping us apprised. Hopefully you will find the resource leak.

Amazing work team. I am already seeing improvements. Hope you are not killing yourselves though, I'm sure everyone realises how difficult it is and that it will take time to fix. We're here for the long haul! Thanks again

I can come whine in the discord if that'll help.

Thanks for all the work you, and all the others do to welcome so many new users, and thank you for keeping us posted on your efforts to smooth things over.

From what I see the general sentiment is very positive and understanding, and it feels special to be part of a community that's more upbeat than what you see in most online places.

Yall are navigating waters that you probably have little professional experience with. Keep at it and don't get discouraged.

Thanks for making this possible in the first place 🤘

Appreciate the update, best of luck.

Do you need any spare server hardware? @ruud@lemmy.world I would be happy to donate some!

Thanks y'all.

If you need any Python QA test automation help I’m happy to invest. Thanks for the new home.

Thanks for your work, you are making the Internet a better place!

Thanks! Love updates. I moved to lemm.ee for now, I'll come back to your world when you got room for my fat arse.

Thanks for putting in all the hard work. Especially on a holiday. We appreciate you guys!
