Wow, we have doubled in size in around a week! Next week should be interesting!

    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.

    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. :)

        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….
