Its now running on a dedicated server with 6 cores/12 threads and 32 gb ram. I hope this will be enough for the near future. Nevertheless, new users should still prefer to signup on other instances.

This server is financed from donations to the Lemmy project. If you want to support it, please consider donating.

    I can feel the difference already. Really enjoying it here and while I wouldn’t let some technical difficulties stop me, I think it will help grow the community. Thank you!

    Thank you for your hard work! Although I kinda foresee for the future if Lemmy really would become the new “reddit” with such servers and millions of users, wouldn’t that also rise the server costs and ultimately make the hosts dependent on asking money for it, maybe by a paywall or by ads? I think to make this community really be “free” without any host responsible for spending a huge amount of money for servers, the best solution would be to make the actual “servers” be a p2p cluster. Unfortunately I’m not quite sure how to realize that without losing a huge fraction of the model if a lot of nodes (i.e., the actual users) are offline. Sorry, I’m just brainstorming.

      I would love a social network powered by the users that are using it. Maybe also running something like serverless functions on the client devices.

      I was wondering the same thing. I initially created an account on some obscure instance because I didn’t fully understand what I was doing. I just abandoned it and set up a new one on lemmy world. I think I’m getting the hang of it now. I’m curious to see how Lemmy grows and matures over time. There is still a learning curve that will keep some people away.

    This is excellent news.

    I’m a little curious how difficult it would be to include this status in the sidebar - we see ‘users online’ statistics, we should also see ‘costs vs donations’ statistics there plus a link for donations also.
