So after we’ve extended the virtual cloud server twice, we’re at the max for the current configuration. And with this crazy growth (almost 12k users!!) even now the server is more and more reaching capacity.
Therefore I decided to order a dedicated server. Same one as used for mastodon.world.
So the bad news… we will need some downtime. Hopefully, not too much. I will prepare the new server, copy (rsync) stuff over, stop Lemmy, do last rsync and change the DNS. If all goes well it would take maybe 10 minutes downtime, 30 at most. (With mastodon.world it took 20 minutes, mainly because of a typo :-) )
For those who would like to donate, to cover server costs, you can do so at our OpenCollective or Patreon
Thanks!
Went ahead and subbed on patreon. Hope that lemmy survives the growing pains and can develop some of the community that reddit had!
Also if there are any fellow former apollo users would def recommend checking out Mlem, its in testflight right now but seems to be working towards the experience that apollo gave on reddit.
I’ll give it a shot!
Yeah, have still ran into a few bugs but definitely moving in the right direction.
iOS only? Or also Android? Btw, you receive notifications on Jerboa? What do you use for Lemmy on Android?
Only on iOS, but afaik there are a few options on android atm.
I supposed due comparative of Apollo. I will download it on my iPad. On Android I’m using Jerboa, which is beautiful and intuitive, but have a lot of stuff to improve and doing some things news and better! But is the version 0.0.30 so is relatively new, and is the app of the official staff. The app you mentioner for iOS costs moneyonf AppStore?
Nope, its free and oss. It’s in beta rn though so it has to be installed through testflight. They have a channel over on lemmy.ml https://lemmy.ml/c/mlemapp.
What do you mean need installed through testflight?I’m not an expert on iOS, I just have an iPad that a relative gifted to me.
It’s an app to allow for beta software on ios
Thank you!!
