The next few days are going to be wild. Brace yourselves (self.main)

Tomorrow, reddit will be shutting off 3rd party app access. If the twitter migration is anything to go by, that means that the wave of new users coming in the next few weeks will be much bigger than the wave we saw earlier this month.

Our lead techy admin @supakaity@lemmy.blahaj.zone is also recovering from broken bones and surgery, so she will be slower to respond to issues :)

All of that being said, we're as prepared as we can be. We're currently running our instance on hardware with excess capacity to spare, but who knows if it will be enough.

So, good luck to all of us, and see you on the other side :)

I've been here since earlier this month but now that "Boost for Reddit" is down, I'll be here a lot more instead of splitting my time 50/50

Thanks as always to you and @supakaity@lemmy.blahaj.zone!!! Best wishes that she gets better soon!

Thanks for being as on top of things as possible. I'm still mourning Apollo but hoping to bring some folks from reddit over here soon.

First comment on Lemmy! I think that it'll be hard to for people to understand instances at first but hopefully over time the value of chosing how you interact will be clear

I imagine we only have a few hours left of Boost. Set myself up here today after hearing about this place. Can't wait until there's more apps for it.

I'm probably gonna be taking a weekend off just to let the initial wave wash over us. Best wishes to Kaity, I'll see you fine folks on the other side. :)

edit: Yeah, turns out I couldn't stay away :P
