Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

It's one part uncharted territory to see how well Lemmy servers can scale, and it's another part balancing how much bigger of a hosting plan one needs to support the influx, amid the possibility of some people leaving after trying it out a bit.
Many servers run on 1 or 2 GB RAM which may not be enough if all of a sudden activity triples.
Especially as everyone flees Reddit. I'm guessing the 12th then the 30th will be big influx days
One day more...
I remember that in the early days of lemmy, outages or slowdowns were quite common (one of the reasons I left).
Hope things go better this time
Maybe I'm crazy however if this is the instance run by developers. Is $30-100/month really impossible to handle? I figured this would be their more exciting time.
I don't think its so much about the cost as it is about the ability to scale properly. There will be some issues like this at the beginning
Yeah, I'm curious at the scaling problems. 1000 active users isn't that many. Especially if this is touted as being the next reddit. There are many subreddits with orders of magnitude more active users.
Does lemmy.ml allow communities from all instances? Or is there any instance that does? Like poverty meals is in lemmygrad so you can't access it from beehaw if I understand Lemmy properly
lemmygrad gets banned from almost all instances. I'd recommend creating a PovertyMeals on an instance that isn't filled with as many hyper-political people.
