Restarting Lemmy.world at 17:00 CET for server upgrade - Lemmy.world

Apparently in some parts of the world it’s already Monday June 12th. I see registrations going up. This results in the server CPU staying around 70% even spiking over 90%. So I will upgrade the VPS from 4cpu/16GB to 8cpu/32GB. Expect a few minutes downtime at 17:00 CET

What is the plan when the new VPS gets overloaded in a few hours? What happens if this instance becomes popular and has 50k users a day?
Show threadRuudJun 11, 2023
Then I move it to a dedicated server, like I did with mastodon.world which has 164k users and had over 100k active users at it's peak.

Awesome :) glad to see this instance has some staying power!

How is the funding? Do you need help? Will this be a long term project?
Show threadRuudJun 12, 2023
Funding is still OK but we might need to upgrade the server again soon. Links for funding are on the homepage sidebar. I don't quit this server as long as it's used. If I ever get tired of it I hand it over.

I was thinking of starting my own server first and host it on hetzner or digitalocean because I have good experience with those and their easy to scale. Anyway I'm here now and it's better to see this one grow :) If I can help in any way let me know.

Ftfy ;)

You got a point though, just made an account myself and I'm not used to looking at a spinning icon for 5 seconds just to post a comment. I dont even think my last two comments even posted lol.. could be the app I'm using. Let's hope this one posts and doesn't timeout??
