Nakita ko lang 'to dati sa random Reddit thread (from askReddit ata?) and it stuck with me since. Happy Tuesday, phlegmmings!
Ako na sinasakit kahapon at nagescalate papuntang ubo na may plema: 👁️👄👁️
Share ko lang yung 500-day streak ko sa wordle 😤
I was talking to a friend about the recent issues Lemmy, and lemmy.world in particular is facing.
I suggested that while the scaling issues on the Lemmy software itself is being worked upon, maybe more “bland” country/region instances where people can join is a viable solution…
That I’d love to make an account on lemmy.sea (a Southeast Asian Lemmy instance)
Edited typo(s)
Thanks for the tip. I’ve made my account on lemm.ee in just under 20 minutes. I hope, though, that this won’t be a pattern.
Oh, this is the same @megane-kun@lemmy.world you replied to.
Anyways, I hope this won’t be a pattern where we look for “underpopulated” instances only to find it too crowded soon enough. I remember Lemmy.world being described as idyllic before the Reddit blackouts. That’s barely a month ago, lol!
It would be interesting to have a .ph instance though. r/ph managed to reach 1M subscribers alone, and the offshoot ph subs could justify having a ph-centric instance.
I flirted with this idea after reading up that Lemmy can run on a NAS. Good thing I didn’t, seeing how the weekend traffic brought Lemmy to its knees.
A single stack might not be enough judging from lemmy.world’s upgrade woes. And in hindsight, you’ll also need a team of technically adept people aside from the admin/mod team. But it could also be interesting to have a single user instance for the sake of having a local copy of all the federated communities you subscribe to… as long as those instances would allow federation.
You need someone to host and pay that domain. .ph domains tend to be expensive to renew.
Yeah. Hosting might be cheaper, but it would be a challenge to keep it sustainable if it’s going to operate through contributions. And yeah, it’s a pity that dot.ph has complete control over the .ph TLDs. But I suppose it doesn’t necessarily have to be a .ph, but any domain name that could cater to the ph crowd.
