Done! Good luck!
@Kris, I hit my email send limit for the free trial today. I'm trying to get it upgraded, but apparently I have to wait for SendGrid support to approve the upgrade for some reason. Your account was probably created, but it most likely just needs email verification. I can do so for you if you tell me the username you were trying to create.
from what I've read, a lot of the problems are caused by inefficient sql queries. Changing my db settings massively helped because people were getting timeouts constantly for some reason, even though my metrics only showed like 10% usage. I want to contribute, but just haven't had time yet. Thankfully with an entire programming community, we should definitely be able to make lemmy a lot better.
I'm thinking the url name will be dotnet? and the Display name will be .NET. Is that good for you?
yeah pretty amazing honestly
Hey, yeah I actually was going to see if I could post the full setup and cost on this later, but since you're asking now I'll just go ahead and post it here!
The domain - programming.dev - cost $560 or something like that for the first year, then it's $427 for every year after.
The lemmy instance is running on a Vultr High Frequency instance at the lowest tier. I thought I could up it if we started getting high traffic, but expect the server to run just fine for quite a number of users. I do think I might have to move postgres off to its own dedicated instance, but haven't really thought too much about that yet.
I think bandwidth is actually going to be the biggest issue, because if we federate with other massive instances then even if there is only a small number of users, we're pulling in all the traffic from the other instances. I can definitely understand only allowing a few instances, but not sure I'm going to restrict that just yet. If people can donate then that shouldn't be a problem.
The email is all running through SendGrid. I was going to use Mailgun, but Sendgrid is a bit easier to use and has a lot higher cap, and I expected to get to that in time. Currently SG costs nothing, but I expect it to cost $35 a month after my trial runs out...
haha I don't know if anyone would ever post in that. Maybe we should have an Ask Experienced Devs, which I think would attract that exact same crowd?

yeah I've noticed that... it happened with
/c/loud. So what should we do? Go with it? I mean, it's too good not to right? lol. Or should we stick with/c/csharpor/c/dotnet?
