Oh wow! 2GB already seems like a lot, especially since it looks like this instance has only been running for 10 days?
I see you're using Hetzner. Those graphs don't really show what kind of CPU you're using. It's a 2 core i guess?
It was an 8 core. But the current server is a 32-core / 64 thread cpu.
For only 17k Users? Seems like a lot of CPU Usage. Damn.
That image was from when we had 8 cores. Now it's under 10% usage :-) So we have some spare.
It seems a high usage to me as well... what's the load? (from the uptime command) I'm puzzled as the disk and network are basically idle (very low usage) but the CPU is basically saturated...
Beside this THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT WORK!
it's most likely coming from postgres, db server tends to be the main resource hog.
Dang dude, youre the man
Do you have any data redundancy? Like that if a hard drive dies? Or worse a hurricane takes out your whole server? What would happen to my newly created account?
It's on a VPS so any redundancy they use for storage, plus I make backups to a storagebox in a different datacenter
Super cool!
Wow, that's a lot of CPU usage
I think it depends heavily on how much storage you're allocating, if you allow uploading media that is. From what I've understood most of the bottlenecks are in DB operations so CPU and memory definately play a role.
Good point. I forgot about media.
I wonder if I made a LAN lemmy instance if I could use it as a lemmy cache server.
Is there a such thing as a cache only server? If so I'd love to sign up as being a cache bitch and help out!
I was thinking if I made a personal instance I could use it as a local "cache".
I've not looked to see if it's possible, but a lemmy instance with posting disabled would be effectively be a cache server - all reads, no writes, except for sign ups, I think.
sounds about right
At least 2.8k :-)
What is the plan to make communities between instances easily accessible? I feel like with mastodon and now lemmy that is the part that concerns me, namely community reach/discoverability
External communities are just searchable, subscribable and browsable from here. Sometimes you need to change a search filter or default view from Local to All. Or is there something else you feel is missing? I think 90% of the issues people are having are UX related and not a core issue with federation or decentralization.
I think my concern for adoptability is that a technology community could exist with the same name on lemmy.world as well as on another instance. I think theirs some benefit to creating a user and community pool of names and communities to allow genuine growth. it would also prevent fakes and phishing.
I think of it like [email protected] instead of just selfhosted. Sure there may be duplicate communities on different instances but over time I think there will be more people gravitating to a particular community and people will just sub there from then on and the others will become more dormant. When I refer to a community I'll just use the full name ([email protected]) and not just the community name (selfhosted)
I absolutely understand, I am just trying to think of making it as adoptable as possible. Remember that many people struggled to adapt to Reddit and now lemmy will be adding additional layers of complexity that make entry more cumbersome unless you’re savvier than the average internet user. It isn’t cosmic but it should be considered and mitigated.
