No need, here let my give you the response completely unsolicited:

!sysadmin@lemmy.world is right there

No it’s not nearly as active as reddit but you can post there and get plenty of replies.

Just like on reddit there was /r/technology and /r/tech… Which do you choose?

Choose the bigger one of course. That’s all. On Lemmy they can have the same name but the search feature shows how many subscribers there are. It’s pretty clear usually which to pick.

But everyone can see all of them and it’s not a big deal if you post to a smaller community because a ton of Lemmy users look at the All feed so it will show up anyway.

No. It’s confusing. Maybe make them easily accessible though but still distinct so that the users know it’s two different spaces.

CenturyClub will be born again!

The site seems to crash Safari on iOS when going to the instance list.

It reloads constantly until Safari gives up :(

Thanks for your work!

Full time, off of donations and also they are sponsored by some open-source group iirc

Ongoing development IS an recurring cost.

I have zero problem with people trying to get paid for their work, often it is the only feasible way to dedicate enough time to the project.

I’d prefer open source sure, but I’m not all that opposed to small/individual projects not going that route. Especially when it’s not a critical service and there’s an abundance of FOSS choices

I have ~160 users and have been up about two months. We have subscribers to pretty much every large community and hundreds of smaller ones, plus media heavy ones like the NSFW communities.

Currently sitting at 6.6GB for Postgres (there was an update recently that drastically reduced the size, dunno exactly what it was at before), 54GB on pictrs/media. (I host the media on object storage, specifically Cloudflare R2)

For memory I’m pushing 3GB now, with Postgres taking about 1.5GB. That’s higher than it used to be, might be related to the update that reduced the DB size.

CPU: I have a cheap 2 core x86 virtual server/vps - and haven’t seen it go over 10% during normal operations…

To answer your question directly though, the most work is OUTGOING federation. So it really depends on how active your communities are/how many unique instances subscribe.

Right. My statement was one of fact, not trying to say it’s a bad thing. I’m a Marxist-Leninist as well.

Maybe they didn’t choose it for that, but to be fair they are definitely and admittedly Marxist-Leninists

Lmao I never said .ml means Marxist-Leninist in general. I just suggested that’s why Dessalines and Nutomic - two proven Marxist-Leninists - might have chosen to use it. Many people use domains that have nothing to do with their actual intended use. YouTube often uses youtu.be for shorter links, it’s nothing to do with Belgium which is what .be is intended for.

Even if it isn’t true and it is just coincidence, it doesn’t take away from my point in the slightest that the original person I responded to seemed not very fond of communists at all, yet they seemed unaware their instance was run by two of them. Reactionaries may even call them “tankies”.

You are an American who loves Texans team.

I can’t help where I was born, sorry. And I was unaware that no communist can enjoy sports at all.

go back to r/conspiracy or /pol/

Why would I want to interact with such reactionaries?

I wouldn’t touch such reactionary cesspits thanks.

Conspiracy? Maybe I’m wrong about why they picked .ml, but it’s not a conspiracy at all that Nutomic and Dessaline are communists. Didn’t you see the link to Dessalines’ Marxist study guide? They’re not hiding it. It’s no secret.

And I’m also a Marxist-Leninist, so I’m really not trying to start any “conspiracy”.

Check out some more essays and resources by Dessalines:

https://github.com/dessalines/essays

Featuring such work as “List of US atrocities” (based) and “Lenin’s revolutionary strategy”

Especially check in on his socialism faq link. https://github.com/dessalines/essays/blob/master/socialism_faq.md

Go look at the links for USSR and China. Bet you’d call him a Tankie.

Here’s Nutomic adverising on reddit a few years back: If you want to try something other than Reddit, then give Lemmy a try! Developed and run by Marxist-Leninists. - /u/Nutomic posting on /r/sendinthetanks

Perhaps. It’s not like you can’t get pretty much any domain for $10/year anyway. Still though, they’re both Marxist-Leninists. And the person who I originally responded to would almost certainly call their own main admins “tankies”.

This place was far more commie filled before the reddit thing lmao.

Yes - but none of the devs or admins of lemmy.ml are Mali

They are communists though.

Here for example is Dessalines’ communist reading list.

I don’t mean to imply that this is bad or not, but simply to point it out as a fact.

You do know the .ml domain for lemmy.ml was chosen to represent Marxism-Leninism, right, comrade?

Edit: perhaps they chose it because .ml domains are free, however Nutomic and Dessalines are absolutely what many would describe as “Tankies”. I’m not saying that’s bad, but it is a fact. See my other comment: https://thelemmy.club/comment/217452
