[IMPORTANT] Server Maintenance at 11pm (feddit.uk)

Hey guys, just to let you know I'm upgrading the server tonight to a dedicated server which should improve the speed of the site significantly. It shouldn't take too long and might resolve some issues we were having on the instance.

At the moment, the server has been running on shared hosting which is cheap hosting where the server that runs the website is shared among many users. I upgraded it this morning but it didn't seem to help at all so I'm opting for a dedicated instance.

Over the last few days we've seen a good number of users join the instance and I've had a good number of donations from some great people!

My intentions are to run this server for as long as I can even if I'm putting some of my own money into it. I know some people may be worried about an instance like this being hosted by one person but I promise I'll keep it up and keep regular backups just in case I can't host it anymore or something happens to the server!

I for one will be happy to keep you caffeinated should the server costs start piling up. Don’t hesitate to prompt us if it comes to that.

Thanks Tom for all you're doing. The instance is noticeably faster this morning, imo.

It's a shame the UKCasual community was created on a different instance to this one, it'd be nice to have everything in one place. I suppose that's the beauty of everyone moving to a new platform though. It's all over the shop!

Where did casuals end up? Missed that

It ended up at [email protected], it is a shame aye but lemmy.world seems pretty stable which is good!

Might be worth updating to lemmy 0.17.4 if you can, before you jet off on holiday :)

That's a good shout actually, I'll do it early tomorrow morning as it looks like a smallish upgrade, the update for 0.18.0 looks to be coming soon which hopefully comes after my holiday as it'll be a big one!
