lemmy.ml meta

Everyone liked that.

As a new user, thanks for being accepting of us migrants!

Please know that your work is genuinely appreciated in fascilitating the migration from Reddit to Lemmy. Your efforts will hopefully ensure a bright future for communities on this platform. Kudos @[email protected] !

Upgrade unlocked!

Thank you so much for all the hard work, I'm really loving it here.

I just want to say, you all are doing a great job. Maybe I don’t fully understand it yet, but I have created some communities on the lemmy.ml instance and I don’t really want to move away. Is there anything I can or should do? I think that I’m currently locked in here.

The server has become more responsive definitely. I thought my internet routing was so shitty that it took so long to load the site. Nice!

I'm getting 502 error all the time on my lemmy.ml account (lemmygrad account works since i'm posting from it).

@nutomic @liaizon 502 Bad Gateway ?

I'm still amazed at how light-weight lemmy is.

Just started supporting this instance on liberapay, if other follow you'll hopefully be able to upgrade the potato soon !

Is it possible to horizontally scale these instances instead of just upping the machine hardware? What are the main performance bottlenecks typically?

Based

This new machine is speedy! Getting pretty much instant loading times. Thank you to the donators, I will be joining you soon!

How to migrate an account to another instance without losing anything including relationships ?

Are there still issues with cross-instance content? Previously, if I signed in to lemmy.ca and subscribed to a channel on .ml, I didn't see all content. Likewise, if I left a comment from my .ca account, it wouldn't necessarily show up for users on .ml.

If this is still a problem, it's a HUGE roadblock in being able to just tell people to join other instances, if we don't want to fracture an existing community.

Edit: That may have simply been a result of the excess load?

Edit 2: Okay I'm testing and it looks like this was just an issue of load; I don't seem to be having any further issues with this.

Edit 3: Comments from users on lemmy.world still don't seem to propagate correctly. I can see them from .ml but not .ca

You're holding the gates of freedom open, my friend

Congrats on the smooth migration!

Have we explored the possibility of "porting" the larger communities to other instances? It seems that many of us simply wish to subscribe to the largest (insert type of community here) and can do so from various home instances. Might lower demand on this specific instance at the very least.

Is that why I kept getting this error?

I really do appreciate everything you're doing for us all. Thank you.

@nutomic Sounds awesome!
Was wondering why it was offline.

Thank you! I can actually participate now!! I have several screen shots saved of my profile showing me logged in under random user names over the last few days. ~.~ Shit was weird. I couldn't post, couldn't stay logged in, or I'd see a strange profile name if it actually let me click into a thread. Everything seems to be solid today.

new users should still prefer to signup on other instances.

Add an instance migration feature, and ~~throw out~~ kindly suggest it to some users when the server gets overloaded... (/jk... or not)

Is most of the discussion about the infrastructure done in a community here, or do you folks have an invite only discord/slack or something @[email protected]?

I've been working in devops for 4 years now, but with mostly kubernetes and AWS, but I'd like to throw some ideas and just ask some more specific questions about the infrastructure. Like I'm curious why autoscaling the web servers and moving the database server to a dedicated instance is not the current configuration.

I can feel the difference already. Really enjoying it here and while I wouldn’t let some technical difficulties stop me, I think it will help grow the community. Thank you!

Hi @[email protected]. Thanks for the upgrade and for your work.

May I ask about the resources utilization now? CPU, RAM, storage? Thanks!

I'm still having trouble that any comments I make on other instances through lemmy.ml are not seen on those instances, only when viewed through lemmy.ml

Thanks for your work on this site. It feels very promising and a great place to migrate to. Reddit is about to hit their digg/myspace moment.

This is excellent news.

I'm a little curious how difficult it would be to include this status in the sidebar - we see 'users online' statistics, we should also see 'costs vs donations' statistics there plus a link for donations also.
