I saw the impressive setup used by the sh.itjust.works instance with 24 CPUs and 64 GB RAM. This inspired me to reconfigure join-lemmy.org so that it can quickly update the instance list, and point users to sites which are actually reachable. This will be an immense help if a lot of Reddit users decide to join Lemmy at once (e.g. during the blackout on Monday). Individual instances will likely go down at that time, but others will stay available and users can easily join them.
Additionally, changes to the site, documentation and translations are also updated automatically. If you see anything that can be improved, consider making a contribution to help new users.
@nutomic@lemmy.ml small recommendations for these two repos:
Configure the github repo description to:
- Link to https://join-lemmy.org/ and https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/index.html respectively
- Add a short description to each repo
- Hide packages/environments since you don’t use them
All can be done with a few small clicks like seen here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/71247647/620699
Thanks for the suggestions, I just applied them. However I dont see any packages/environments that you mention.
In this screenshot https://i.stack.imgur.com/uBjDT.png it says “include in home page” and under that there are three checkboxes.
When those are checked the sidebar of the repo shows those things.
Anyway thanks for making the changes :)
Ah thanks, I unchecked all of them as we arent using releases either.
I can do this when I get to work later unless someone beats me to it

Because its a different project. Does the Mastodon website list Pleroma or Friendica instances?
I think it would be worth listing the projects, even if not the instances. I’m still new to all the federation stuff, but my account is through kbin and I’m loving the low-key, small community feel with the freedom to go anywhere and interact across projects seamlessly.
It could be mentioned in the documentation.
Great work on the updates!
I do have a feeling that the “x users / month” stat with each instance on the instance list under sells activity on instances. Might I suggest displaying total users as well? Perhaps even posts and comments to further illustrate overall usage to a perspective user.
That would favor older instances, I dont think its a real solution.
Makes sense. Back the drawing board. Thanks!
Wow great!! Again appreciate all the work you and your team do!
Is there somewhere we can document that these sites are automatically updated now?
PS: The documentation site doesn’t seem to be auto updating because stuff from yesterday still isn’t showing in the live version for me.
Ah I used
git submodule update --recursivewhen it should be--remote. Fixed now.
