i'm the admin. i'm a software developer, living in Winnipeg, MB. I spend a lot of time watching my son play baseball in the spring/summer, own a dog that sometimes acts like a cat.
Not sure what makes this server different from others? I will do my best to make this place a safe, welcoming space for all. Will probably need some help along the way as we grow.
It's currently run on a VPS on lunanode, a canadian provider. I'm currently self funding it, but plan on accepting donations to help run it as well.
Do you mind sharing how big of a VPS is required to run an instance this size? One of the issues with Mastodon is that it's written in Ruby and it requires a lot of money to run a decently sized server. I'm wondering if Lemmy is more efficient given that it's written in Rust
this is the last 24 hours of CPU usage, currently running on a 4 cpu vps.
not sure how that compares to a Mastodon instance of similar size. i know the lemmy devs are working on some further optimizations, so hopefully that will help too.
Cool, thanks!
