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.

    The server has become more responsive definitely. I thought my internet routing was so shitty that it took so long to load the site. Nice!

    Are there still issues with cross-instance content? Previously, if I signed in to lemmy.ca and subscribed to a channel on .ml, I didn’t see all content. Likewise, if I left a comment from my .ca account, it wouldn’t necessarily show up for users on .ml.

    If this is still a problem, it’s a HUGE roadblock in being able to just tell people to join other instances, if we don’t want to fracture an existing community.

    Edit: That may have simply been a result of the excess load?

    Edit 2: Okay I’m testing and it looks like this was just an issue of load; I don’t seem to be having any further issues with this.

    Edit 3: Comments from users on lemmy.world still don’t seem to propagate correctly. I can see them from .ml but not .ca

    I just want to say, you all are doing a great job. Maybe I don’t fully understand it yet, but I have created some communities on the lemmy.ml instance and I don’t really want to move away. Is there anything I can or should do? I think that I’m currently locked in here.

        Me and others are getting that issue without that. Seems to be related to its IPV6 configuration or AAAA record since disabling IPV6 seems to make lemmy.ml work

      I was getting 502 Bad Gateway. When I pinged Lemmy.ml I got an IPV6 address. It disabled IPV6 on my local computer and now when I ping I get a IPV4 IP address it works now.

      I am wondering if DNS is screwed up on the IPV6 network for Lemmy.ml.

      Note. This could totally be something on my end, I really haven’t done much with IPV6 but it did solve the 502 Error so I might do the same for you.

      Edit. I had a few people say turning off IPV6 on their end fixes the 502 Bad Gateway, so it looks like it has something to do with IPV6.

        Thanks for mentioning the IPv6, I’ve been banging my head all day trying to figure out why I kept getting the 502 yet no one was complaining anywhere and isitdown was showing the server as Up.

        I forces my DNS to resolve only IPv4 for lemmy.ml and now I can use it.

        My suspicion is that nginx is misconfigured and not listening via IPv6. Or maybe the AAAA record is pointing to the wrong IPv6 address.

        @[email protected] Thanks for upgrading the server!

        You are right, I forgot to configure IPv6. Will be fixed shortly.

        Edit: Should be fixed now.

    Have we explored the possibility of “porting” the larger communities to other instances? It seems that many of us simply wish to subscribe to the largest (insert type of community here) and can do so from various home instances. Might lower demand on this specific instance at the very least.
