I wrote my fist post about Lemmy.world. When June is finished, I’ll also include Lemmy in the financial update on the same blog.

    Delightfully straightforward update, thank you. I wonder if Hetzner would be willing to offer a discounted rate if they knew what everyone here is trying to do.

    Thanks for keeping everyone updated while doing everything you’re doing in your home life too. And again thanks for making lemmy.world happen.

    Who on earth downvoted an update by Ruud though!?

    I love this type of “behind the scenes” posts, thanks for sharing!

    p.s. how can you do all that work? do you ever sleep? :D

      Well at the moment it’s kind of much… with Lemmy, work, family, hobbies… But as soon as Lemmy gets more stable, and the moderator teams are in place, it will be more quiet

        You have a full plate! I think it’s ts easy for us users to picture admins as fully working on the big picture and nothing else, but you’re somehow juggling it all in with a very full daily life! I for one (and many others) really appreciate your herculean effort. I hope getting time for yourself as well.

          Well this is a hobby. One of many hobbies I have. But at the moment the one taking up most time. But that’s why I’m looking for a team. Some to help me admin my servers, some to moderate. The bigger the team, the less work for each, and the more coverage of timezones etc.

          But that’s a work in progress.

    First Lemmy instance for me! I’m super interested in what’s going on over here, it’s fascinating watching something like this grow. I hope some of the guys who worked on the mod tools on Reddit jump over here to help develop tools here.

    It’s awesome to see a posts like this that’s so open about what going on behind the scenes. I’m new to this fediverse stuff. It’s taking a while to learn about it all, but I really like the open source nature of it all, and not being reliant on a single corporate entity. I really want to see Lemmy, and this instance, as well as other fediverse projects succeed and grow. I happily donated. Keep up the good work!

      I initially was directed to beehaw from reddit and it felt so off I decided to try a different instance before I made an account, and settled here. Could not have made a better call! This is hands down the best instance imo.

    Do you have some technical tips for other not so experienced admins? (I just started a Lemmy instance for my country)
