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.

Thank you! I can actually participate now!! I have several screen shots saved of my profile showing me logged in under random user names over the last few days. ~.~ Shit was weird. I couldn't post, couldn't stay logged in, or I'd see a strange profile name if it actually let me click into a thread. Everything seems to be solid today.

That was a software bug that was fixed with 0.17.4

ive noticed already that it is much faster and responsive now it must be this new server

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

I really do appreciate everything you're doing for us all. Thank you.

I haven't dug into the bowels of lemmy, but is there anything to be gained by scaling horizontally?

Thank you!!

You're holding the gates of freedom open, my friend

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] 1 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was wondering the same thing. I initially created an account on some obscure instance because I didn't fully understand what I was doing. I just abandoned it and set up a new one on lemmy world. I think I'm getting the hang of it now. I'm curious to see how Lemmy grows and matures over time. There is still a learning curve that will keep some people away.

You should be able to join any instance and get the same fediverse experience. But something is broken and if you don't join the biggest instance then you are missing out.

Cool. Which provider, if you want to share?

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

Is most of the discussion about the infrastructure done in a community here, or do you folks have an invite only discord/slack or something @[email protected]?

I've been working in devops for 4 years now, but with mostly kubernetes and AWS, but I'd like to throw some ideas and just ask some more specific questions about the infrastructure. Like I'm curious why autoscaling the web servers and moving the database server to a dedicated instance is not the current configuration.

new users should still prefer to signup on other instances.

Add an instance migration feature, and ~~throw out~~ kindly suggest it to some users when the server gets overloaded... (/jk... or not)

@nutomic thanks, but I'm still getting 502 bad gateway

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Works for me. Try force reloading the page, or maybe DNS isn't updated for you yet?

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

@nutomic hey, just fyi, still having the issue. 502 bad gateway. Someone further down I'm the conversation that it may be IPV6 related? Not sure

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

@nutomic for anyone looking here it seems to be working this morning.

neat, separate hosts for lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml :D

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

They were already hosted in completely different places though??

Noice. Now it is fast!

First! 😂

I kept refreshing and was wondering why it was down. It was showing an nginx error message or sometimes a certificate issue.

Really glad we got a new beefy server though. 🤞
