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!

    I don’t think I can go back on mobile. Their mobile app is just straight cancer. On desktop, I’m going to leave it as my homepage as long as old reddit survives, but as soon as that’s gone(which I expect since it seems to be on death row), I’ll be switching over here entirely.

    On mobile, I’m already switched over to Jerboa and I won’t be using their mobile app ever(sorry for the redundancy, I just hate their mobile app that much).

    Lemmy will continue to grow, and I’m totally here for it.
