Yeah the list keeps growing! There are a lot of us with single-user instances that exist. I prefer it because even when one instance falls down from load I can still read some stuff, and I have a copy of the posts in the event one fails/shuts down so I never lose any tech knowledge I may refer back to later.
That makes a lot of sense! Awesome, I think that negates a lot of the concerns I had at the start of this thread. Turns out people have already thought about these issues lol
Mastrodon migration answered a lot of these questions thankfully too, so Lemmy gets the benefits of it. So far mainly what I've seen have been performance growing pains more than anything
True, I'm in the Lemmy Matrix chat and lemmy.ml keeps coming up cuz it seems super slow at times.
I am kinda surprised by how little resources Lemmy/Mastodon use up on a single user instance though. Significantly less than when I was trying to run a Matrix node.
Lot of it is because a bunch of it is written in Rust. Makes a huge difference in the performance, and the devs do a great job
Yeah, I haven't had too many major issues with Lemmy or Mastodon now that you mention it. Lemmy's install docs are... messy, but once running it's been without issue. Hats off to the devs for that.
