So... how's Lemmy doing? Any plans to upgrade soon? It's pretty slow and really hit or miss with loading. About 40% of the things either don't open or fail to post.

And I'm fine with that! For now. Growing pains and whatnot. But it'd be cool to see some plans on how Lemmy is prepared to handle this growth. It already lacks a number of smaller communities I miss, so if there's to be any reason to use it, it's gotta at least function.

Look here: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list

Click "All Columns".

lemmy.world has more than 4x active users (last month) compared to the second, distribution can get better.

Look for an instance with high uptime and low latency, and also with good amount of users to have good chance to resist over time. The one I'm using is great in all respects: lemmy.fmhy.ml.

  • lemmy.world: 98.6% uptime, 208ms latency, 222k active users
  • lemm.ee: 99.3% uptime, 16ms latency, 8.2k active users
  • lemmy.fmhy.ml: 100% uptime, 7ms latency, 1.4k active users

Edit: one more resource showing overloaded instances:

NCL is the instance I host if anyone wants to try it out:

  • normalcity.life: 99.78% uptime, 137ms latency, 6 active users.

We're still pretty small, and are currently using account applications, but you'll be accepted within a few hours no problem. We're focusing on providing a first-rate experience with federated content, a neutral and apolitical experience regarding local content, and a fully-functional backend with regular maintenance. I'm basically doing this myself in my spare time at the moment, but the long-term goal is to have it pay for itself through donations. We don't really have anything particularly special to offer from any other small-time instance, aside from the promise that we're serious about sticking around and fixing things when they need fixed.

Wow, that is way more users than I expected

where are you seeing 222k active users, I'm seeing 1/10 that number.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It was 222k when I wrote, in "1m" (last month) column. Current 24k seems more credible. lemm.ee also went down from 8k to 2k. lemmy.fmhy.ml grew a bit to 1.5k.
