As a new user, thanks for being accepting of us migrants!
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!
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.
It worked, thanks.
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.
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.
Are there still issues with cross-instance content? Previously, if I signed in to lemmy.ca and subscribed to a channel on .ml, I didn't see all content. Likewise, if I left a comment from my .ca account, it wouldn't necessarily show up for users on .ml.
If this is still a problem, it's a HUGE roadblock in being able to just tell people to join other instances, if we don't want to fracture an existing community.
Edit: That may have simply been a result of the excess load?
Edit 2: Okay I'm testing and it looks like this was just an issue of load; I don't seem to be having any further issues with this.
Edit 3: Comments from users on lemmy.world still don't seem to propagate correctly. I can see them from .ml but not .ca
This new machine is speedy! Getting pretty much instant loading times. Thank you to the donators, I will be joining you soon!
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 :)
Something isn't working with ipv6, on my phone network I get nginx 502 but on wifi it works
Congrats on the smooth migration!
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.
Upgrade unlocked!
Congrats! I was hoping that's what was going on!!❤️
Is there a way to migrate my account to a new server?
Is that why I kept getting this error?
Is it possible to horizontally scale these instances instead of just upping the machine hardware? What are the main performance bottlenecks typically?
Gotta say it's been a smoother experience using it in the last couple hours. Thanks!
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.
This server now: I am speed
Can really feel the difference in speed. Thank you!
I've just contributed to LemmyNet. Consider supporting them too — every little helps! https://opencollective.com/lemmy
Noticeably faster! Thank you.
hi! I would be interested in understaning more the setup of the lemmy.ml instance. Do you use a cloud provider, a SaaS platform or a traditional hosting ? What are the costs that are incurred? Cheers!
It's a single, dedicated server from ovh.com for 60 euros per month.
Is Lemmy made with horizontal scaling (a.k.a. launching more instances and have a load balancer proxy the requests to the various instances) in mind? It could help larger instances like lemmy.ml managing the load better rather than just putting it on a beefier machine.
You should be able to do that without problems. However the main bottleneck is the database, I think some people want to experiment with read replicas. However as developers we would rather focus on optimizations which will benefit everyone, not only the largest instances.
Ah awesome. The database horizontal scaling is a solved problem already luckily, especially an enterprise database like PostgreSQL has lots of options there.

Oh sure, but being able to horizontally scale shouldn't hurt small instances 😉 Personally I'd probably host a single-user instance at some point just like I do with Mastodon, so I personally don't really have a need for horizontal scaling either but it's good to think of those things.
6 cores/12 threads and 32 gb ram
See matrix DMs.
I'm still amazed at how light-weight lemmy is.
Yeah I mean a single dedicated server doesn't sound like much, and yet performance is much better than before!

Thanks for your work on this site. It feels very promising and a great place to migrate to. Reddit is about to hit their digg/myspace moment.
Fantastic to see and the improvements are already being felt and very obvious.
Thank you!

Great news, and thanks for the upgrade, it is flying now. Would there be need from any devopsy work to contribute, I'd like to help.
Great to hear! It's already a lot smoother than it was before! Hopefully it will continue to grow!
