I don't understand why a dedicated server is a good idea, when the only true way to scale is to use like Kubernetes or Docker and ECS Containers with scale?
Your just gonna run into more problems, you cannot vertically scale forever.

Just curious, what sort of hardware is lemmy.world using/moving to? Wondering if there's a good way to predict load based on number of users.

Just joined. Thank you so much for your effort!
More power! More power is good.
@[email protected] DM me if you need help setting up monitoring/alerting on server health. IRL I'm on an SRE team, so happy to help where I can!

Thanks for you work on this! What is the planned time for the outage?
Nice!
Thankyou for everything!
Thanks for everything you're doing. I signed up for Patreon to contribute!
Always give a long estimate so people are pleasantly surprised :)
Iβm just another reddit refugee but I wanted to say thank you for your time, effort and money. As I slowly come to terms with federation I see why some are so passionate about it.
Would be awesome if you create some group chat (e.g. Discord?) and add sysadmins/devops to it. Would be more than happy to assist, especially if you have questions or need opinions.
I've been working as sre/sysadmin/devops for the past ~5 years and ~9 years of (Arch) Linux user. More than 1K Arch Wiki edits over that period of time.
Wouldn't something like a Matrix server be more in line with the 'philosophy' of the fediverse?
Reddit is for Lemmy as Discord is for Spacebar (works with Discord) https://github.com/spacebarchat/spacebarchat
I'm not sure how its being done as far as the technical aspects but Ruud has done a great job as admin upgrading the servers to keep up and anticipating the flow of new users.
The same admin also has experience with a mastadon.world server that experienced lots of growth from Twitter users leaving over musk moves. So essentially we have a good admin as far as I can tell and it's not his first rodeo. Part of the reason I chose this server

Iβm glad to hear about the new users (I myself am one.) and the server upgrades!
I think lemmy.world suits me better than Beehaw. (great folks over there, no shade)
I like that lemmy.world letβs communities be openly created by users, as well as the inclusion of downvoting which I personally prefer.
