Wow, we have doubled in size in around a week! Next week should be interesting!
3 days later we’ve crossed 2k. Exciting stuff.
As a Canadian, I really appreciate this Lemmy instance. This might sound silly, but I feel a little bit of patriotism logging into a .ca website hosted in Canada.
French and English bilingual here, not Canadian though, so thought it’d be a good place to start my Lemmy adventure.
Canadians are a welcoming bunch. As long as tou enjoy maple syrup and Hockey (I kid).
Welcome aboard, Friend!!
I think this is great. I’m following the spez shitshow whilst my reddit comments delete in the background. I’m going all in on lemmy.ca.
I hope to see more users and engagement in a few weeks. :)
Boy oh boy, that old '486 this instance is running on is gonna get a workout!!
it’s actually a 386 DX. haven’t gotten around to upgrading it yet.
What kind of bandwidth and storage requirements might one expect with these user counts? I’m considering self-hosting an instance for migrating a couple of mostly text-based subs I work with (30-40K users).
that’s tough to say. i mean if it’s mostly text-based there shouldn’t be a lot of bandwidth or storage requirements.
Would you have a ratio of donations per user to keep this instance up and running?
More than happy to help keep this going.
if 5 users contributed $5/month, that would cover the hosting fees. does that help?
Any idea how the other Lemmies are faring? I’d guess ml must be expanding significantly faster….
