What happens to accounts/history created here if the server shuts down?

Damn, those server specs are crazy

My submissions still hang indefinitely, but when I reload they are there. I dunno if this is something connected to lemmy's code itself or the server but it's a bit broken

What kind of server configuration are you guys running? A single instance?

I'm not too familiar with Lemmy's codebase, but I am a devops engineer. Is the software written in any way to support horizontal scaling? If so, I'd be happy to consult/help to get the instance onto an autoscaling platform eventually.

On the other hand, posting on smaller instances is really fast now. Still kind of slow here.

Godspeed, @Ruud@lemmy.world!

Great job!

Is one donation method preferred over another? That is to say, is one cheaper than the other?

I'm very impressed with how smoothly that went, very well done!

Contributed to the OpenCollective link. Thanks for the efforts @Ruud and team!

Wow! So impressive!

congrats

I’m glad to hear about the new users (I myself am one.) and the server upgrades!

I think lemmy.world suits me better than Beehaw. (great folks over there, no shade)

I like that lemmy.world let’s communities be openly created by users, as well as the inclusion of downvoting which I personally prefer.

Great news!!

I just hope this doesn't cause ossies down the line. A lot of us are from reddit, and it wouldn't shock me if a lot of new users go back to reddit regardless of the outcome.

I'd hate for this situation to put unessecary financial strain on this service

I would prefer if lemmy.world and mastodon.world donations were NOT comingled.

I want to donate to lemmy.world but already contribute to my mastodon instance (sfba.social) as well as the mastodon project.

Thanks for the work you put into this server!

Lemmy.world is fantastic, thanks for your efforts. It fit perfectly with all the criteria I had when choosing where to host my account.

That being said, I wish Lemmy.ml, the "main" Lemmy instance, more often registered communities created here. At the moment, most people just search for communities there and many of our own don't show up because no user from that instance interacted with our new and growing communities just yet - not only does this create a fragmentation issue, but given the massive load spike, Lemmy.ml is actually running a bit slow whereas Lemmy.world is handling posts better, making interaction easier specially when migrating users from Reddit or other places. For instance, my GameBoy community is ready, with users, and I'm about to post some good content - but as far as someone from Lemmy.ml is concerned, no such community exists.
