A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The load issues are because of users directly connecting to lemmy.ml. Federation isnt using many resources, so its best if users spread out across different instances.
What does it take to spin up an instance and federate? Can I just grab a docker image and go with some cloud Linux instance? What resources are we looking at for what headcount of users / level of engagement? (ie, posts and or connections per minute, etc)

I run a small instance for a few of our staff and a couple of rss/bot accounts.
I use a small DigitalOcean droplet that installs the software automatically. Very easy to run with a small number of people.
Running on a very small server. 4 GB Memory / 80 GB Disk . Works well.
I might not be your best example though
Thanks for the confirmation, glad to not be adding more than my fair share.
