Is it just me, or does this instance go down a lot? (self.main)

I love the concept of the blahaj zone, however, I've noticed it goes down quite often and I get left stuck on 504 Bad Gateway errors that I don't get from my secondary account, which is on a different instance.

If it's due to costs or traffic, the instance owner needs to set up a donation link or otherwise, I would gladly chip in!

It's not a matter of money, it's a matter of available time.

The Lemmy instance is sharing hardware at the moment, and we need to move it to a dedicated server.

We're aiming to do that today.

Thank you so much for all your work Ada! This is becoming my favorite space online since I left reddit and unfortunately it's trans communities with it. I am excited about the possibilities for this as a just as vibrant, but kinder place than subreddits can be.

I agree! This place feels so much more tightly knit than any other reddit community I've ever been in! It reminds me of when I used to beta test games and interact with the tiny communities, I love it!

Unfortunately scaling infrastructure isn't just a matter of throwing money at the problem, though I'm sure money can help!

Again, wish there was more that I could do personally!

102K users online for the main page, 15k just on 196. The other main instances report similar numbers. 30 days ago, this server had less than 100. So yeah.
