Its now running on a dedicated server with 6 cores/12 threads and 32 gb ram. I hope this will be enough for the near future. Nevertheless, new users should still prefer to signup on other instances.

This server is financed from donations to the Lemmy project. If you want to support it, please consider donating.

I'm getting 502 error all the time on my lemmy.ml account (lemmygrad account works since i'm posting from it).

I was getting errors until I deleted my cookies. Try that and see if it works.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

It worked, thanks.

The server has become more responsive definitely. I thought my internet routing was so shitty that it took so long to load the site. Nice!

Thank you so much for all the hard work, I'm really loving it here.

⭐ lemmy star award! I agree, I'm enjoying my time jere much more than at reddit.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Please know that your work is genuinely appreciated in fascilitating the migration from Reddit to Lemmy. Your efforts will hopefully ensure a bright future for communities on this platform. Kudos @[email protected] !

Thank you :)

Just started supporting this instance on liberapay, if other follow you'll hopefully be able to upgrade the potato soon !

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hi @[email protected]. Thanks for the upgrade and for your work.

May I ask about the resources utilization now? CPU, RAM, storage? Thanks!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Load average is around 4, ram and storage are also rather low. So there are plenty of reserves for now.

Is it possible to horizontally scale these instances instead of just upping the machine hardware? What are the main performance bottlenecks typically?

Have we explored the possibility of "porting" the larger communities to other instances? It seems that many of us simply wish to subscribe to the largest (insert type of community here) and can do so from various home instances. Might lower demand on this specific instance at the very least.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Thank you for your hard work! Although I kinda foresee for the future if Lemmy really would become the new "reddit" with such servers and millions of users, wouldn't that also rise the server costs and ultimately make the hosts dependent on asking money for it, maybe by a paywall or by ads? I think to make this community really be "free" without any host responsible for spending a huge amount of money for servers, the best solution would be to make the actual "servers" be a p2p cluster. Unfortunately I'm not quite sure how to realize that without losing a huge fraction of the model if a lot of nodes (i.e., the actual users) are offline. Sorry, I'm just brainstorming.

Thanks for your hard work, I really can tell the difference. Now lemmy.ml is much more responsive than before

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Is there a way to migrate my account to a new server?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is that why I kept getting this error?

Something isn't working with ipv6, on my phone network I get nginx 502 but on wifi it works

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's giving me a 502 error on my computer as well but is working on my phone using WiFi.

Are the json objects related to the migration? Btw, thanks for your hard work!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I can feel the difference already. Really enjoying it here and while I wouldn’t let some technical difficulties stop me, I think it will help grow the community. Thank you!

How to migrate an account to another instance without losing anything including relationships ?

I just want to say, you all are doing a great job. Maybe I don’t fully understand it yet, but I have created some communities on the lemmy.ml instance and I don’t really want to move away. Is there anything I can or should do? I think that I’m currently locked in here.

I've just contributed to LemmyNet. Consider supporting them too — every little helps! https://opencollective.com/lemmy

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cool. Which provider, if you want to share?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm still having trouble that any comments I make on other instances through lemmy.ml are not seen on those instances, only when viewed through lemmy.ml
