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.

    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.

    hey 👋 do you have some Grafana dashboard where we can check user increase?

    Given the no. of posts on this instance I guess it has quite a large user base and I’m really surprised how it manages to run on that amount of resources 😄

      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!

    Thank you! I can actually participate now!! I have several screen shots saved of my profile showing me logged in under random user names over the last few days. . Shit was weird. I couldn’t post, couldn’t stay logged in, or I’d see a strange profile name if it actually let me click into a thread. Everything seems to be solid today.
