Just joined. Thank you so much for your effort!

congrats

On the other hand, posting on smaller instances is really fast now. Still kind of slow here.

Damn, those server specs are crazy

My submissions still hang indefinitely, but when I reload they are there. I dunno if this is something connected to lemmy's code itself or the server but it's a bit broken

Great news!!

Thank you very much! 🥳

Lemmy.world is fantastic, thanks for your efforts. It fit perfectly with all the criteria I had when choosing where to host my account.

That being said, I wish Lemmy.ml, the "main" Lemmy instance, more often registered communities created here. At the moment, most people just search for communities there and many of our own don't show up because no user from that instance interacted with our new and growing communities just yet - not only does this create a fragmentation issue, but given the massive load spike, Lemmy.ml is actually running a bit slow whereas Lemmy.world is handling posts better, making interaction easier specially when migrating users from Reddit or other places. For instance, my GameBoy community is ready, with users, and I'm about to post some good content - but as far as someone from Lemmy.ml is concerned, no such community exists.

This is literally a Wikipedia moment for social media, thank you @Ruud

I'm very impressed with how smoothly that went, very well done!

Godspeed, @[email protected]!

Great job!

That was fast! Great job! :)

Wow! So impressive!

Doing God's work here mate.

What's the current setup, if you don't mind me asking?

OpenCollective link gives me "Unexpected error". Edit: got it now

Thanks for all the work!

Mo powa baby

I just hope this doesn't cause ossies down the line. A lot of us are from reddit, and it wouldn't shock me if a lot of new users go back to reddit regardless of the outcome.

I'd hate for this situation to put unessecary financial strain on this service

What kind of server configuration are you guys running? A single instance?

What is the ratio from the before and after migration server capacity? 1:3, maybe 1:5?

I'm not too familiar with Lemmy's codebase, but I am a devops engineer. Is the software written in any way to support horizontal scaling? If so, I'd be happy to consult/help to get the instance onto an autoscaling platform eventually.
