Everyone liked that.

As a new user, thanks for being accepting of us migrants!

Congrats on the smooth migration!

@nutomic @liaizon 502 Bad Gateway ?

This new machine is speedy! Getting pretty much instant loading times. Thank you to the donators, I will be joining you soon!

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 @nutomic@lemmy.ml !

I really do appreciate everything you're doing for us all. Thank you.

Just started supporting this instance on liberapay, if other follow you'll hopefully be able to upgrade the potato soon !

How to migrate an account to another instance without losing anything including relationships ?

Thank you so much for all the hard work, I'm really loving it here.

I'm still having trouble that any comments I make on other instances through lemmy.ml are not seen on those instances, only when viewed through lemmy.ml

Is it possible to horizontally scale these instances instead of just upping the machine hardware? What are the main performance bottlenecks typically?

I just want to say, you all are doing a great job. Maybe I don’t fully understand it yet, but I have created some communities on the lemmy.ml instance and I don’t really want to move away. Is there anything I can or should do? I think that I’m currently locked in here.

Thank you! I can actually participate now!! I have several screen shots saved of my profile showing me logged in under random user names over the last few days. ~.~ Shit was weird. I couldn't post, couldn't stay logged in, or I'd see a strange profile name if it actually let me click into a thread. Everything seems to be solid today.

I'm getting 502 error all the time on my lemmy.ml account (lemmygrad account works since i'm posting from it).

Is that why I kept getting this error?

Is there a way to migrate my account to a new server?

I can feel the difference already. Really enjoying it here and while I wouldn’t let some technical difficulties stop me, I think it will help grow the community. Thank you!

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.

Upgrade unlocked!

Congrats! I was hoping that's what was going on!!❤️

Are there still issues with cross-instance content? Previously, if I signed in to lemmy.ca and subscribed to a channel on .ml, I didn't see all content. Likewise, if I left a comment from my .ca account, it wouldn't necessarily show up for users on .ml.

If this is still a problem, it's a HUGE roadblock in being able to just tell people to join other instances, if we don't want to fracture an existing community.

Edit: That may have simply been a result of the excess load?

Edit 2: Okay I'm testing and it looks like this was just an issue of load; I don't seem to be having any further issues with this.

Edit 3: Comments from users on lemmy.world still don't seem to propagate correctly. I can see them from .ml but not .ca

Noticeably faster! Thank you.

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 @nutomic@lemmy.ml?

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.

new users should still prefer to signup on other instances.

Add an instance migration feature, and ~~throw out~~ kindly suggest it to some users when the server gets overloaded... (/jk... or not)

I haven't dug into the bowels of lemmy, but is there anything to be gained by scaling horizontally?

This server now: I am speed

Thank you!!

hey 👋 do you have some Grafana dashboard where we can check user increase?

Given the no. of posts on this instance I guess it has quite a large user base and I’m really surprised how it manages to run on that amount of resources 😄

Noice. Now it is fast!
