God, site is so SLOW. They need to bring new servers, maybe charge extra for each api call? IDK

That guy Christian probably developed some of the code. I heard from spez that's his code is super inefficient.

This spez guy sounds trustworthy. He should do an AMA to answer questions about the code.

Honestly this platform is welcoming & people are dignified through conversations. Also informative.

You know, it just occured to me yesterday that there might be a federated version of reddit. Looked it up and I was pleasantly surprised to see it's actually picking up a lot of users. Now if we could see a mobile app as polished as rif is fun, I'll be extremely happy. Move over reddit, let's go lemmy!

Just wondering though, how scalable is lemmy? What kind of hardware/connection would you need to host your own instance?

There's a few posts around about server setups that people are running. The major constraint seems to be storage. Lemmurs uploading gigs of data can get tricky to manage pretty quickly.

Hi everyone, I'm new to Lemmy! I had difficulties signing up yesterday but finally got it working tonight. I want to support 3rd party reddit app developers and reddit mods. I won't be revisiting reddit during the blackout. So far I'm really liking Lemmy so it's a strong possibility that Lemmy may replace Reddit for me :)

As a new user, I’m happy the site let me in. I like it here.

This is only the beginning and I’m glad to be a part of this journey this early one. Things should only get better from here (hopefully)
