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.

    Are there still issues with cross-instance content? Previously, if I signed in to lemmy.ca and subscribed to a channel on .ml, I didn’t see all content. Likewise, if I left a comment from my .ca account, it wouldn’t necessarily show up for users on .ml.

    If this is still a problem, it’s a HUGE roadblock in being able to just tell people to join other instances, if we don’t want to fracture an existing community.

    Edit: That may have simply been a result of the excess load?

    The server has become more responsive definitely. I thought my internet routing was so shitty that it took so long to load the site. Nice!

    Is it possible to horizontally scale these instances instead of just upping the machine hardware? What are the main performance bottlenecks typically?

      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.
