Hey all,

It's been slightly over two weeks since lemmyrs started. It's been pretty fun watching the community grow!

Some instance stats for you:

We're cutting it pretty close in terms of RAM and Disk usage, the user growth rate has mostly flat-lined though once r/rust came back online so I'm not too concerned. When (If) it's time I'll likely bump up the Vultr instance plan to something which will continue to serve us for the foreseeable future.

I think it's likely to spike again when the api goes dark. I haven't been back there, is any consensus forming regarding whether people will use /r/rust, [email protected], or [email protected] going forward?

Looking at the stats, [email protected] is slightly more popular than [email protected]. But I don't think there's a consensus on how to proceed; the r/rust moderators have been reluctant to recommend Lemmy, even though they want to move away from Reddit – which makes sense, since Lemmy still lacks good moderation tools, from what I've heard.

Lemmy still lacks good moderation tools, from what I’ve heard.

The user UX could use some work too. I'm pretty comfortable now, but getting set up subscribed to the communities I wanted wasn't straightforward. And I keep expecting my [email protected] links to work even though (I think) I know how to do it.
