I saw the impressive setup used by the sh.itjust.works instance with 24 CPUs and 64 GB RAM. This inspired me to reconfigure join-lemmy.org so that it can quickly update the instance list, and point users to sites which are actually reachable. This will be an immense help if a lot of Reddit users decide to join Lemmy at once (e.g. during the blackout on Monday). Individual instances will likely go down at that time, but others will stay available and users can easily join them.
Additionally, changes to the site, documentation and translations are also updated automatically. If you see anything that can be improved, consider making a contribution to help new users.
Is there somewhere we can document that these sites are automatically updated now?
PS: The documentation site doesn’t seem to be auto updating because stuff from yesterday still isn’t showing in the live version for me.
Ah I used
git submodule update --recursivewhen it should be--remote. Fixed now.
