You have no idea how actually true that is.

My dad taught me to be a freak in the sheets.

Excel sheets, to be precise.

Ibis is really early days. I hosted it for a bit and had things like federation issues and softlocks. Will be really interesting when it’s a bit more mature though.

There are additional costs that aren’t factored in (although they’re not specifically lemmy, and I pay for them myself rather than use donations) such as a very cheap vps for our status.lemmy.zip page and i got a 3 year deal for an external email provider for less than some email providers wanted a month.

Our server is the same one feddit.uk use (a hetzner auction server) although lemmy.zips I think was a touch more expensive per month. But it’s got a lot of room for growth.

Also we now host all our backups offside too, which adds a little on top. I’ll probably cover this in the next server update.

Nice, I’d seen you’d stopped a while ago but I’ll look at hosting it if it’s back alive.

It has

Or do you have an existing project that requires additional effort to enable further development?

So I assume the Lemmy devs should be good to reapply.

Here’s a handy site to check your federation status: https://phiresky.github.io/lemmy-federation-state/site?domain=social.packetloss.gg

It looks like all the sites are lagging, which can sometimes mean there is an issue. What’s the specs of the server? Can you try restarting it and seeing if that helps?

There are issues for servers hosted in places like Australia because of the latency in communicating with .world due to how big it is and how much data it sends because of this.

It is :)

Just can’t be beaten for price/quality at this scale

This incorrectly lists Lemmy.zip as federated - we’ve been defederated for months.

I dont think this site is accurate.

They should probably add a % measure to that to show active users as a % of total users to give a more balanced look at active instances

Keep it up db0, a lot of us across the fediverse appreciate what you’ve built!

And yet they insist on keeping registrations open and tarnishing the lemmy name with their shit uptime and terrible, terrible decisions like this. Fuck them.

Its been deleted now, but that person has successfully trolled every lemmy.world user and is obviously full of hate and intolerance.

same account name (different instance) is also posting transphobia on https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/nomoretroons

100% spot on. I got called all sorts of names for pointing this out, but maybe my own fault for pointing it out on one of their posts! 😅

I’d say Nginx Proxy Manager is the easiest reverse proxy I’ve used.

This has definitely been a problem with communities being created on the bigger instances and not utilising smaller instances. Happy for someone to say I’m wrong etc, but I think there would be merit in capping instances to x number of users or communities, to force the user base to spread out.

Also, the way signups work, (ie you find a community you like then click sign up but that signs you up to that instance), further exacerbates the issue and the confusion around how federation works. The sign up links on each instance should lead either to a page with an instance finder, or to a random instance that matches the profile of, and is already federated with, the instance you were on. Otherwise the larger instances have a monopoly and are just going to lead to a bad user experience when they can’t cope with the traffic.

It’s a self defeating prophecy if users only want to sign up to the instances with the big communities, because then everyone is going to keep creating communities there and nobody is going to want to join a smaller instance.

I might be talking nonsense and am happy to be told why that is all wrong :)
