lemmy.ml is migrated to a new server
(lemmy.ml)
Everyone liked that.
As a new user, thanks for being accepting of us migrants!
Please know that your work is genuinely appreciated in fascilitating the migration from Reddit to Lemmy. Your efforts will hopefully ensure a bright future for communities on this platform. Kudos @[email protected] !
Thank you :)
The server has become more responsive definitely. I thought my internet routing was so shitty that it took so long to load the site. Nice!
Thank you so much for all the hard work, I'm really loving it here.
Youre welcome :)
⭐ lemmy star award! I agree, I'm enjoying my time jere much more than at reddit.
This server now: I am speed
Based
Gotta say it's been a smoother experience using it in the last couple hours. Thanks!
I was getting 502 Bad Gateway. When I pinged Lemmy.ml I got an IPV6 address. It disabled IPV6 on my local computer and now when I ping I get a IPV4 IP address it works now.
I am wondering if DNS is screwed up on the IPV6 network for Lemmy.ml.
Note. This could totally be something on my end, I really haven't done much with IPV6 but it did solve the 502 Error so I might do the same for you.
Edit. I had a few people say turning off IPV6 on their end fixes the 502 Bad Gateway, so it looks like it has something to do with IPV6.
I'm also unable to connect with IPV6 enabled getting the 502 error, but able to connect with it disabled
Thanks for mentioning the IPv6, I've been banging my head all day trying to figure out why I kept getting the 502 yet no one was complaining anywhere and isitdown was showing the server as Up.
I forces my DNS to resolve only IPv4 for lemmy.ml and now I can use it.
My suspicion is that nginx is misconfigured and not listening via IPv6. Or maybe the AAAA record is pointing to the wrong IPv6 address.
@[email protected] Thanks for upgrading the server!
it seems this new server is not configured to work with iCloud's Private Relay service as the last one was
how to configure servers to work with private relay: https://developer.apple.com/support/prepare-your-network-for-icloud-private-relay/
Me and others are getting that issue without that. Seems to be related to its IPV6 configuration or AAAA record since disabling IPV6 seems to make lemmy.ml work
how interesting...
same its been 6 hours. seems like using a vpn to connect works.
Thanks for your hard work, I really can tell the difference. Now lemmy.ml is much more responsive than before
Thank you for your hard work! Although I kinda foresee for the future if Lemmy really would become the new "reddit" with such servers and millions of users, wouldn't that also rise the server costs and ultimately make the hosts dependent on asking money for it, maybe by a paywall or by ads? I think to make this community really be "free" without any host responsible for spending a huge amount of money for servers, the best solution would be to make the actual "servers" be a p2p cluster. Unfortunately I'm not quite sure how to realize that without losing a huge fraction of the model if a lot of nodes (i.e., the actual users) are offline. Sorry, I'm just brainstorming.
Is there a way to migrate my account to a new server?
How to migrate an account to another instance without losing anything including relationships ?
I was wondering the same thing. I initially created an account on some obscure instance because I didn't fully understand what I was doing. I just abandoned it and set up a new one on lemmy world. I think I'm getting the hang of it now. I'm curious to see how Lemmy grows and matures over time. There is still a learning curve that will keep some people away.
You should be able to join any instance and get the same fediverse experience. But something is broken and if you don't join the biggest instance then you are missing out.
Cool. Which provider, if you want to share?
Ovh
You feel safe that they won't take a dim look on piracy then?
No they dont seem to care at all.
very interesting. Thanks for letting me know.
Is that why I kept getting this error?
This new machine is speedy! Getting pretty much instant loading times. Thank you to the donators, I will be joining you soon!
Is most of the discussion about the infrastructure done in a community here, or do you folks have an invite only discord/slack or something @[email protected]?
I've been working in devops for 4 years now, but with mostly kubernetes and AWS, but I'd like to throw some ideas and just ask some more specific questions about the infrastructure. Like I'm curious why autoscaling the web servers and moving the database server to a dedicated instance is not the current configuration.
There is really not much to discuss. The server was overloaded so we got a bigger one. And there is no reason to mess with stuff like kubernetes when a single server works fine. After all our job is to improve the Lemmy software for everyone, not build a huge centralized platform only on lemmy.ml.
hi! I would be interested in understaning more the setup of the lemmy.ml instance. Do you use a cloud provider, a SaaS platform or a traditional hosting ? What are the costs that are incurred? Cheers!
It's a single, dedicated server from ovh.com for 60 euros per month.
Is Lemmy made with horizontal scaling (a.k.a. launching more instances and have a load balancer proxy the requests to the various instances) in mind? It could help larger instances like lemmy.ml managing the load better rather than just putting it on a beefier machine.
You should be able to do that without problems. However the main bottleneck is the database, I think some people want to experiment with read replicas. However as developers we would rather focus on optimizations which will benefit everyone, not only the largest instances.
@nutomic thanks, but I'm still getting 502 bad gateway
Works for me. Try force reloading the page, or maybe DNS isn't updated for you yet?
@nutomic hey, just fyi, still having the issue. 502 bad gateway. Someone further down I'm the conversation that it may be IPV6 related? Not sure
Please consider doing a custom list of servers within the fediverse which didn't defederate ml servers to propose as an alternative so people don't join stuff like ewwhaw.
Are you saying beehaw does not federate with lemmy.ml? Maybe I am misunderstanding something here - I can definitely see lemmy.ml subscriptions on beehaw.
I think they were talking about lemmygrad
Noice. Now it is fast!
