Hi guys,

The server just got upgraded to double the memory and cores. We had some peak periods where 8 GB was not enough to run everything, and now we get 8 more cores as well to serve more memes faster. :)

Plenty of room for more users too, if they should decide to join.

Thanks for picking this instance, guys. Enjoy Lemmy!

Thanks for picking this instance, guys.

No, thank you for providing it!

[-] mrmanager@lemmy.today 12 points 2 months ago

Of course, very happy to be able to do it!

[-] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 18 points 2 months ago

Thanks for the instance. 🙂

It has been pretty solid for me, and the overall neutrality of the place is much appreciated. It has allowed me to speak my mind with honesty, which is something I couldn't do on Reddit.

[-] mrmanager@lemmy.today 9 points 2 months ago

Its very important for me too. I really dislike when comments from ordinary users are removed by mods just because the mods or other users dont agree with what they say. So we are not doing that here at least. :)

[-] DonaldJMusk@lemmy.today 1 points 2 months ago

Totally agree!

MrManager is like the cool evening/night shift manager lol. Fairly hands off, no stress, lets adults be adults and handle it. The whole ‘I trust you unless you give me a reason not to.’ Low key gets shit done without you even noticing. It ain’t for everybody, but that’s the type of management style I vibe with. Hats off to you, sir. o7

[-] mrmanager@lemmy.today 11 points 2 months ago

Absolutely. I believe most people are good and deserve a lot of respect. Just being here on lemmy is a sign of walking your own path away from the mainstream platforms. I really respect that.

That's why my main account is here after trying five instances. Best instance by far.

[-] 1984@lemmy.today 4 points 2 months ago

Ive been here since the start, just love the attitude of the admin.

[-] Ftumch@lemmy.today 12 points 2 months ago

Cool! Looks like Home now loads noticeably faster for me.

[-] tal@lemmy.today 11 points 2 months ago

@mrmanager@lemmy.today Thanks. That'll also cost more. You've never asked for donations, but if you've changed your mind, I'd be happy to chip in.

[-] mrmanager@lemmy.today 9 points 2 months ago

I remember you asked before too! :) The total cost for the server is only something like 40 dollars per month, and for me, thats something I will gladly spend so this server can exist for everyone. But thank you so much for offering, you are clearly a generous person!

Definitely feels faster, thank you!

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 7 points 2 months ago

Oh neat. Thanks.

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 6 points 2 months ago

I was wondering why it went down for a few minutes yesterday.

Also

Noice!

[-] SirEDCaLot@lemmy.today 6 points 2 months ago

Awesome!!! Thank you very much @mrmanager@lemmy.today for everything!

[-] deepflows@lemmy.today 6 points 2 months ago

Thank you very much!

[-] Tensilespark@lemmy.today 5 points 2 months ago

Thank you! Love your style and dedication to keeping us all running smooth

[-] CalcProgrammer1@lemmy.today 4 points 2 months ago

Thank you for this instance! I started on lemmy.ml but that instance have since found out how bad of a reputation that instance has despite being the "official" developer hosted one. I also prefer using the mlmym interface (old.lemmy.today) and lemmy.ml doesn't have that. I am moving my OpenRGB community here.

Thanks a lot! This is great!

[-] msokiovt@lemmy.today 2 points 2 months ago

I wonder what time you did the maintenance, because I didn't even get on during that time, which was probably during the night.

[-] mrmanager@lemmy.today 2 points 2 months ago

It was down for 10 minutes at about 9.30 UTC yesterday. It was also sometimes restarting itself for about 2 minutes per day at random times before the update (because it ran out of memory) , but that wont happen anymore.

Smooth sailing from here on!

[-] DonaldJMusk@lemmy.today 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

You are the reason this is the best instance in the 'verse. Thank you!
