Preparing for the hug of death
(feddit.de)
I'm here from Reddit.... Gimme hugs!
Another reddit refugee here and this is my first ever comment on Lemmy.ml (or any of the Lemmy instances, for that matter). Welcome!
We'll explore this weird new world t together!
And another one here. Let reddit burn to the ground with their own VC greed.
Exciting time for us!
Noooo we can't give any more!!
Awww.... Mean.
Sending reinforcements
Y'all gonna feel wholesome today
Same here, feels interesting but good!
We'll see.... 🤗

Created my own instance to help out. Created a few communities, hopefully they'll become searchable from the big instances soon.
In the future, there's nothing that says you or anyone else can't create accounts on a few of the large instances and subscribe to communities on your own instance to make this link happen!
Put some links to your communities, I'll sub to start the link
I've made three so far -
https://1337lemmy.com/c/thesopranos
https://1337lemmy.com/c/chicubs
https://1337lemmy.com/c/chibears
The link has finally been made, so no need to sub unless you'd like to. Thanks for offering!
Thank you for your service.

It would make a great stress test though when suddenly millions join Lemmy :)
Reddit chose a very bad time to mess up, right when we're in the middle of coding some of our biggest performance improvements. They timed this perfectly to make things as stressful as possible for nutomic and I lol.
Great work and good luck!!!
I've been busy too recently and I just noticed yesterday the influx of new users... So I've updated and upgraded the server a bit. Hopefully I can keep my instance running smoothly and contribute a little bit that way!
The ones that really want to get in, would wait a long time i guess, like i certainly would! The only reason i am not here months ago, is because i did not know this place existed
Well...I hear good things about Ritalin. Good luck, and godspeed lol
I am so not jealous. Just know that we appreciate all your hard work.
Depending on how bad the perf is, it may be worth it throwing the instance on a real big machine to take the load to buy time for the optimization work without turning many users away. Contributions should increase with the flood of users. If a big machine could mask the problems of course. Maybe they're too bad to mask. You probably know.
Ya... our server upgrade was a short-term fix, but our code efforts in the past week, especially with regard to the SQL and websockets, should help things.
Has there been any work / planning around an ability for third parties to setup broadcast servers to help distribute the load? I know that kind of thing is extremely difficult but maybe it would be a reasonable effort for handling read only requests. I haven't had a chance to look into lemmy's architecture yet so not sure if this is a valid question or not :)
Not that I know of.

No stress test needed, every admin has already said they know it's going down

It'll be good practice for when a bunch of third party apps die and some post about "how to go about delete your stuff and registering on this list of alternatives in just a few easy steps" comes up.
And by practice, I mean that the horse corpse is going to be fucking pulverized.
My first plan was to delete my content the first of July if reddit didn't change mind, but I'll delete it before because I want to use a third party app to do so without too much hustle
Well shet
