lmao, literally offered you all the same thing.
on better hardware, in a more secure environment.
Didn't get a response.

I ain't got nothin better to do so might as well run a server forever
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
you should see how many of these big servers were (and still are) running their instances as 'root'...
I specifically stopped trying to grow my instance to focus on security and sysadmin back-end administrative infrastructure.
Although participation will always be somewhat unequal, there are ways to better equalize it, including:
- Make it easier to contribute. The lower the barrier, the more people will jump through the hoop. For example, Netflix lets users rate movies by clicking a star rating, which is much easier than writing a natural-language review.
- Make participation a side effect. Even better, let users participate with zero effort by making their contributions a side effect of something else they're doing. For example, Amazon's "people who bought this book, bought these other books" recommendations are a side effect of people buying books. You don't have to do anything special to have your book preferences entered into the system. Will Hill coined the term read wear for this type of effect: the simple activity of reading (or using) something will "wear" it down and thus leave its marks — just like a cookbook will automatically fall open to the recipe you prepare the most.
- Edit, don't create. Let users build their contributions by modifying existing templates rather than creating complete entities from scratch. Editing a template is more enticing and has a gentler learning curve than facing the horror of a blank page. In avatar-based systems like Second Life, for example, most users modify standard-issue avatars rather than create their own.
- Reward — but don't over-reward — participants. Rewarding people for contributing will help motivate users who have lives outside the Internet, and thus will broaden your participant base. Although money is always good, you can also give contributors preferential treatment (such as discounts or advance notice of new stuff), or even just put gold stars on their profiles. But don't give too much to the most active participants, or you'll simply encourage them to dominate the system even more.
- Promote quality contributors. If you display all contributions equally, then people who post only when they have something important to say will be drowned out by the torrent of material from the hyperactive 1%. Instead, give extra prominence to good contributions and to contributions from people who've proven their value, as indicated by their reputation ranking.
Your website's design undoubtedly influences participation inequality for better or worse. Being aware of the problem is the first step to alleviating it, and finding ways to broaden participation will become even more important as the web's social networking services continue to grow.
Holy shit, this study is as old as my car.
🙏🏼 love this place. Also have to give it up for the boring, yet effective, and efficient workhorse of the vape world; the Mighty.
or.... lemmy hates .gifs?
idk ugh.
ya know, it's not hard to setup a totally independent instance on the same hypervisor as another.
I have servers, you have people, we could make independent lemmy instances on my two Dell R720xd and one Dell R730xd servers. They're not overloaded with people like lemmy.world yet, that would put way way more stress on that server.

mlmym - old.reddit-ish front end for Lemmy servers (including this one)
(old.beyondcombustion.net)
Holy shit, I've been looking for someone to do this server side instead of a browser script.
If that is on github/codeburg/whatever.... its gonna happen.
