An update: - fmhy.ml is gone (https://fmhy.net is now up), due to the ongoing fiasco with mali government taking all their .ml domains back and also Freenom being sued by Meta - As such, lemmy.fmhy.ml is also gone, we are currently exploring ways to refederate (or somehow restart federation entirely...

Thank goodness for virtualization and snapshots, right?
Better now that I got the upgrade to 0.18.1 to run correctly. Blew up the VM twice last night, restored it again this morning, manually shut down docker and run the playbook again and it just worked this time. Got around to imaging the other parts of the network, broke a non-important router on upgrade. Fix that mess later, brain is fry.
But I have been given freeze dried strawberries and cheesy crackers from Big Dwagon, so all is good I suppose.
I follow a few different instances from my instance, and checking 'new' and 'active' always turns up new stuff to poke at. Quite a bit of content flow.
I have some headroom for growth set aside. Since my instance is virtualized, its not too hard to scale it a bit. But there are hard limits due to other projects on the host.
For a lot of smaller instances that are currently running on cheaper VPS instances, they most likely have an upper limit to what their willing to pay for scaling up as growth happens. The only way to balance that is getting tooling in place to purge older data, but that isn't really a good idea either.
Really though, any web platform that hits the public eye is going to face these issues over time. But allowing a large company to federate with a smaller instance will accelerate the issues. You also need to keep in mind that you don't have all the control of these instances, as your users will cause you to federate with more and more content. Sure, you can purge and defederate, but that is a cat and mouse game.
Also, I cannot speak for the goals of others; but lemmon bar isn't run with the goal of replacing reddit. It is meant to be a point of access to the fediverse. No more, no less.
One of the things that I feel isn't being thought about much, is that it isn't just Meta's ideology and policies that will harm smaller instances and the fediverse itself; but the volume of data that their userbase will generate.
For smaller instances like mine running on six vcores, 4GB of memory, 512GB storage and a 120Mbps network...I feel like all it would take is a handful of users federating with them and the data flow alone would destroy our resources at the network if not disk level.
No, I don't plan on allowing my instance to see or interact with theirs; but the point applies to all small instances and part time hobby servers. We don't have the means to take on the data they could throw out into the federated network.
One random day - someone spills the beans. They were picked to impersonate me and get a job using my information.

Very much not true. All I've really had to do was create an SPF entry in my DNS and setup DKIM. Once that was done, it was okay.
The guys I regularly exchange email with have had no issues getting mail from my server.
I grew up on well water and was used to drinking from the garden hose when working out in the yard; but thats southern US for ya.
Now days, jus fill a bottle from the tap and don't really put much thought to it.
I can't remember the name of the game, but there was this flash powered tank game that I spent hours on during middle school. Oh, and interactive buddy...that game was a trip with its scripting engine!

A geeks take on what went wrong with XMPP and how it could affect the fediverse if we are not careful. Fairly interesting read.
Coming from other platforms as a lurker, one of the things I enjoy is looking on as folks talk about their arts and crafts. I have learned a bit about suit making just from keeping an eye on reddit threads and what not.
Would certainly stick around for arts and crafts!
