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!

Is one donation method preferred over another? That is to say, is one cheaper than the other?

Are you running this out of your home?

I have self hosted small things before, but I was always curious about lager stuff like this.

What are your internet speeds?

Feels good to be part of the growth of a community!

I think some donation flare would be cool to have if you make a donation to an instance. It would help incentivize donations too.

Wow, we’re over 12k already

  1. I signed up on Patreon. Thank you for hosting + making it possible. I thought about adding an emoji check mark next to my name but gave up the idea. :-)
  2. I made up a little proposal on how I think load on the instances could be more effectively distributed. The problem of load on the instance servers + the cost of hosting as a result isn't going to get better with time. πŸ™‚ If you have any feedback or interest, feel free to LMK, and thanks again.

Thanks for being so on top of all these changes! I’m enjoying my experience here so far.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

That was fast! Great job! :)
