  • Thanks,

    There was a plan for some Reddit communities with over 200k active users to come over that didn’t work out. They mods were moving over, but the subscribers didn’t want to leave Reddit. So I built for that load. Even if a small fraction came over it’d be busier than any other instance.

    For now, I want it to be snappy and have zero outages. The “brand” of Lemmy is new, and if all the instances crash or have outages, then the transition over will be slow, and only true early adopters will endure it.

    I’m willing to take a loss to help grow the community. The backend has random outages with CPU & memory, so I’m using the lowest-tier general-purpose dedicated CPU instance. I was using memory-optimized before.

    My losses are at least lower now.

    Thanks again, Jason
