Thanks @lhx@lemmy.world and @rarkgrames@lemmy.world !

Please submit enhancement requests here: https://github.com/LemmyNet

If the server would be gone so would all the users and content here.

I will add some CDN like Fastly so the latency should improve. (Don't know yet when that will happen)

That should all work, but maybe there's some slowness on 1 of the servers. Please refresh to see if it has worked, if not, try again.

Every post needs to be flagged I think. Maybe you could try with a test post.

Current server is EUR 180 per month

Will make a rule limiting number of communities per moderator or created per week or something like that. On the to do list.

Yes, on the to-do list! Thanks!

That's cool! Can I also just put the image in my post?

Good idea!

Thank you for all the compliments.

This ride reminds me of Mastodon.world in November. Details on that are here: https://blog.mastodon.world/and-then-november-happened

So I started lemmy.world on a 2CPU/4GB VPS. Keeping an eye on the performance. Soon I decided to double that. And after the first few thousand of users joined, doubled it again to 8CPU/16GB. That also was the max I could for that VPS type.

But, already I saw some donations come in, without really asking. That reminded me of the willingness to donate on Mastodon, which allowed me to easily pay for a very powerful server for mastodon.world, one of the reasons it grew so fast. Other (large) servers crashed and closed registrations, I (mainly) didn't.

So, I decided to buy the same large server (32cpu/64threads with 128GB RAM) as for masto (but that masto one has double the RAM). With the post announcing that, I also mentioned the donation possibilities. That brought a lot of donations immediately, already funding this server for at least 2 months. (To the anonymous person donating $100 : wow!).

Now next: to solve the issue with post slowness. That's probably a database issue.

And again: migration took 4 minutes downtime, and that could have been less if I wasn't eating pizza at the same time. So if any server wants to migrate: please do! If you have the userbase, you'll get the donations for it. Contact me if you have questions.

Yes, when I get around to it I can create a post about it. And of course, feel free to ask.

Ooooh

With Hetzner Dedicated server the bandwidth is free

We prefer OpenCollective.

No it's not! Not for me anyway. Yes I'll be looking into that, but first migrate the server!

I will soon create a new blog post, I mean to keep it monthly, with all the finances. https://blog.mastodon.world
