Server will be migrated (More power!) (lemmy.world)

So after we've extended the virtual cloud server twice, we're at the max for the current configuration. And with this crazy growth (almost 12k users!!) even now the server is more and more reaching capacity.

Therefore I decided to order a dedicated server. Same one as used for mastodon.world.

So the bad news... we will need some downtime. Hopefully, not too much. I will prepare the new server, copy (rsync) stuff over, stop Lemmy, do last rsync and change the DNS. If all goes well it would take maybe 10 minutes downtime, 30 at most. (With mastodon.world it took 20 minutes, mainly because of a typo :-) )

For those who would like to donate, to cover server costs, you can do so at our OpenCollective or Patreon

Thanks!

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

I've found shitposting community in Lemmy. I don't think I want to go back. 🤷

Servers can also be downgraded. I'm thankful that Ruud is doing his best to accomodate this influx of users.
