Performance is looking awesome, lemmy.world is responding very fast to community subscription requests and search is also very fast. My experience when using other instances was that search didn't work at all, hindering community discovery.
Thanks!
This is how I understand it: a current limitation (feature?) Is that you can only search from your instance to other communities if someone from your instance has interacted with it. But if you use https://browse.feddit.de/ you can search across all instances. Then subscribe to it, or search the whole url in your own instances search. Once an instance interacts with another, now other people from your instance can search for it by simple name.
Went ahead and subbed on patreon. Hope that lemmy survives the growing pains and can develop some of the community that reddit had!
Also if there are any fellow former apollo users would def recommend checking out Mlem, its in testflight right now but seems to be working towards the experience that apollo gave on reddit.
iOS only? Or also Android? Btw, you receive notifications on Jerboa? What do you use for Lemmy on Android?
Only on iOS, but afaik there are a few options on android atm.
I really appreciate what you're doing, but I'm worried how this instance will continue scaling. What happens when it gets to 1 million users? 10 million? We can scale vertically only somewhat, but horizontal scaling seems to be limited to "just join a new instance 4head" and that just...doesn't have a good experience.
Ya what are the limitations with scaling horizontally? Scaling up is a stop gap.
Ruud, thank you for your investment here though.
Thanks Ruud!
That's awesome! Wasn't even a long downtime
Incredible. Thank you for your efforts on this!
Thanks, Ruud, I've chipped in re costs :) Keep up the good work.
Same thanks so much for doing this Ruud!
I’m glad to hear about the new users (I myself am one.) and the server upgrades!
I think lemmy.world suits me better than Beehaw. (great folks over there, no shade)
I like that lemmy.world let’s communities be openly created by users, as well as the inclusion of downvoting which I personally prefer.
Great job!
Umm I joined at 2k users now there are over 15k. Damn this is exploding.
Maybe Reddit signed a little death sentence with APIpocalypse. Elon did same shit and Twitter actions in stock market dropped a lot! (even more than with adquisition). Reddit wants go to stock market soon.
Bad move u/spez and Reddit staff!
Thank you.
That's my admin!
Just curious, what sort of hardware is lemmy.world using/moving to? Wondering if there's a good way to predict load based on number of users.
Nice!
Thankyou for everything!
Thanks for everything you're doing. I signed up for Patreon to contribute!
Itd be cool to get donation flare!
You can! ☑️ or ✅. The Patreon page mentioned that you're officially allowed to edit your username to add flair when you donate. I upgraded to $8/month specifically so I could add the flair, but then got cold feet about the idea. 😀
Thanks for you work on this! What is the planned time for the outage?
So, I just want to make sure I understand this as I am a new user from reddit. Instances are server based and cost money. Instances are Lemmy.World, Beebaw, Lemmy.Film, etc etc. These are all seperate hosted instances. Correct?
And donations would help pay for the server, ie lemmy.world?
"Lemmy instances" are analogous to "email servers": your account is hosted on one of them, but you can communicate with people on other ones, because the servers know how to talk to each other.
Expanding the capacity of the Lemmy service will involve both (1) more instances, and (2) more resources for existing instances.
