So after we’ve extended the virtual cloud server twice, we’re at the max for the current configuration. And with this crazy growth (almost 12k users!!) even now the server is more and more reaching capacity.
Therefore I decided to order a dedicated server. Same one as used for mastodon.world.
So the bad news… we will need some downtime. Hopefully, not too much. I will prepare the new server, copy (rsync) stuff over, stop Lemmy, do last rsync and change the DNS. If all goes well it would take maybe 10 minutes downtime, 30 at most. (With mastodon.world it took 20 minutes, mainly because of a typo :-) )
For those who would like to donate, to cover server costs, you can do so at our OpenCollective or Patreon
Thanks!
Wow that was fast.
this is very Reddit-y of you
Redditors made such memes a thing, we’re taking them with us where we go.
Reddit moment-ception.
We did it, lemmy.world!
Mom, get the camera!

I will add, joking aside, that Ruud is doing a bloody good job (sorry, I don’t know yet how to tag a user).
@rarkgrames@lemmy.world type the @ symbol and first few letters. a drop down menu should appear. it might delay by a few seconds.
Thanks!
You are welcome!
Thanks @BackOnMyBS
Wondering if Jerboa had this feature or it auto links…
Like this: @ruud@lemmy.world parent thinks you’re doing a bloody good job! (Me too!)
Thanks @lhx@lemmy.world and @rarkgrames@lemmy.world !
Didn’t realise you could respond with images on lemmy. Smoother jokes than r***it…
Well i just thought I’d give it a try and it worked. :)
When a volunteer can run a server better then a big tech company
unsurprising pikachu face
To be fair the volunteer isn’t trying to squeeze value out of the users to inflate his IPO.
Won’t somebody think about the corporations!
