What is the plan when the new VPS gets overloaded in a few hours? What happens if this instance becomes popular and has 50k users a day?
Then I move it to a dedicated server, like I did with mastodon.world which has 164k users and had over 100k active users at it's peak.
How is the funding? Do you need help? Will this be a long term project?
Funding is still OK but we might need to upgrade the server again soon. Links for funding are on the homepage sidebar. I don't quit this server as long as it's used. If I ever get tired of it I hand it over.

wow that was fast, nice!
It's still slow af. takes me 45 seconds to save edit to this post What's the plan to fund scaling? You should probably have some burstable resources set up with a hyperscaler cloud.
Some world event will happen and this site will break down faster than toilet paper in the rain
this ~~site~~ instance
Ftfy ;)
You got a point though, just made an account myself and I'm not used to looking at a spinning icon for 5 seconds just to post a comment. I dont even think my last two comments even posted lol.. could be the app I'm using. Let's hope this one posts and doesn't timeout??
Thanks Ruud!
Thanks!
Thank you!

Thanks for maintaining this - I'm a Reddit refugee and this instance has been great so far!
Technical issues are very understandable when you're growing this fast :)
The exodus has definitely begun. For anyone who hasn't seen it you can literally watch Reddit go dark one sub at a time at https://reddark.untone.uk
This is awesome and hiarious
Been watching this thinking "WOW the Reddit-ocalypse is happening!!!" Then the site went down. 698 sites had went dark when I last checked.
He's struggling to get the site to stay up under the demand but is streaming his local version here https://www.twitch.tv/reddark_247
Neat link, thanks!
Congrats on all the registrations! Glad to see this catching on. :)
Your professionalism and experience is part of why I decided to make this my "home" instance. Thanks for all the work keeping this up and stable over the last few days!

Am I tripping or is everything a bit snappier now? ^^
Edit: on the other hand, commenting does still take quite a bit ๐ซ
Yeah I can't yet find the cause of that, it's annoying the *** out of me
Oh good. I thought it was just me and I was taking crazy pills.
Do you pay for the server, how much do you pay monthly?
Also: how can people help support?
Yeah it's June 12th already in New Zealand and probably a few other countries, I've seen a few saying they were shutting down their subreddits because of that.
For anyone interested to see subs while they shutdown: https://reddark.untone.uk/
p.s. Thank you for your work! :)
Thank you for all you do
Hi, new user here.. Thanks for hosting this. I hope the server wouldn't blow up due to users spike.. cheers!
Is there a web site that we can see the status of the servers/instances, number of users, stuff like that. It'll be an interesting couple of days with all the new communities going up. Good luck
Thank you for hosting this!
thanks for the hard work!
I did my very first account login right as this happened and was very confused haha. But now working smoothly and excited to figure this all out!
Thanks for the solid maintenance Ruud!
Thanks for the headups! I have being using this intance for a couple of hours. Is great! Hope things go well and the bot issues is not too bad.
Thanks! Enjoying my stay so far for what it's worth.
Wow, already implementing improvements! Looking forward to a long term future here!
Thank you for the great work!
Thank you for this! Brand new to Lemmy but really excited to see it grow.
I can't change my password, it just loads and never finishes. Anything you can fix or we have to wait for the Lemmy devs to fix it?
For me it works? Perhaps you entered the wrong old password? Lemmy isn't great at displaying error messages yet...
This is weird but for some reason it worked now. ๐คทโโ๏ธ Thanks anyway!
Thanks for your work in keeping this server up and available - should be an interesting ride for the next few days. :-)
Since registrations will probably keep going up for a while, can users donate to keep the server running?
Yes they sure can! See the sidebar of the homepage for donation platforms we use. Thanks!
Is this perhaps why making new communities stopped working the last 30mins?
No that should just work. Please DM me a screenshot of what you're trying to create.
Thanks for your work :)
