What kind of hardware you got going for the Ubuntu server? I'm doing something similar on an old HP ProLiant and looking to upgrade.
There's a significant amount of discussion surrounding the issue of lemmy.ml servers reaching their maximum capacity. As someone who already has an account on lemmy.ml, what actions can you take?
To get serious about distribution, I think there needs to be a few features implemented;
- User migration. Allow people who find themselves on an overstuffed server to migrate to a different instance
- Community grouping / merging. If there are multiple communities for the exact same thing, allow the mods to group them or merge them to not fracture the user base
- User data import / export or cloud backup to a personal provider. If one day your server instance just disappears, it would be nice to know I have a backup of my user data, subscribed communities, saved posts and comments, and maybe a way to relink to my old posts and comments across the fediverse.
Just a few ideas I was thinking about that could possibly help users move around.
The client requested carrots but after delivery tells you they actually meant zucchini. You think it is strange to put zucchinis in a salad but still meticulously go through their dish and replace all carrots with zucchinis. Upon delivery they ask why it tastes weird and you realize they meant cucumber not zucchini and they got the two confused.
Sort of off topic but are you replying from Mastodon?
