lemmy.world is amazing always up and smooth. When i first started lemmy when the exodus started from reddit i went to lemmy.ml I created an account and was wondering why it wasn’t working all the time. Then realized the person hosting it isn’t following or using good specs to handle the influx of users coming over. I think u/Ruud should talk to them.
I’m subscribed to some of lemmy.ml communities but it being down so much And if they don’t get support fast I think they should just drop off and somebody should take over.
Just my own thoughts
its usually the standard process of performance analytics and tuning configs, sometimes a code-hack here or there. Can take a week or hundreds of hours depending on the system. If the learnings can be captured in a document it can be an accelerator for many. We are going to need to teach more people to run bigger instances. We can’t just rely on 2 or 3 or even 10 big servers.
