A temporary fix for overloaded lemmy.ml servers, via THAIO (Throw-Hardware-At-It Optimisation)…

Nothing more permanent than a temporary solution

Sadly there’s only one server since Lemmy doesn’t support horizontal scaling (hopefully for now only)

This sounds like something we need. I’m sure it’s much harder to implement than I imagine (I’m not a programmer, just a geek). Lemmy needs more devs.

What specs do I need to run a lemmy instance for, say a small group of 1000 people? Cpu, Ram, Amount of Electricity needed, Minimum Internet Speed, Storage? Assuming that I would be federating with the top lemmy instances.

I think it would be possible to run it on that laptop. But the only way to find out is if you try for us!!

This may help: https://sh.itjust.works/post/4706 This real answer is that it depends on how many online users there are at the same time and how much data is saved.

I’ve heard of people running (Mastodon, not lemmy, but it’s probably comparable) off a raspberry pi, but I doubt that’d be feasible for more than a few users. I might set that up for self-hosting though

This looks like my old laptop - Lenovo Y510P. Even down to the slight abrasion below the mousepad from the user wearing a watch with a metal band.

It had SLI GPUs in a laptop through the ultra bay. It was a beast for about 20 minutes until the heat built up.

I have an old Raspberry Pi 1 lying around. Should I spin up my own instance?

I’m actually thinking about doing this exact thing with my own rpi b rev2 from 2012. I’m not sure it’ll even run a kbin/Lemmy instance though
