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.
Everyone liked that.
The server has become more responsive definitely. I thought my internet routing was so shitty that it took so long to load the site. Nice!
it seems this new server is not configured to work with iCloud’s Private Relay service as the last one was

same its been 6 hours. seems like using a vpn to connect works.
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.
You are right, I forgot to configure IPv6. Will be fixed shortly.
Edit: Should be fixed now.
it works, thanks
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!
I’m also unable to connect with IPV6 enabled getting the 502 error, but able to connect with it disabled
As a new user, thanks for being accepting of us migrants!
Please know that your work is genuinely appreciated in fascilitating the migration from Reddit to Lemmy. Your efforts will hopefully ensure a bright future for communities on this platform. Kudos @[email protected] !
How to migrate an account to another instance without losing anything including relationships ?
I was wondering the same thing. I initially created an account on some obscure instance because I didn’t fully understand what I was doing. I just abandoned it and set up a new one on lemmy world. I think I’m getting the hang of it now. I’m curious to see how Lemmy grows and matures over time. There is still a learning curve that will keep some people away.
You should be able to join any instance and get the same fediverse experience. But something is broken and if you don’t join the biggest instance then you are missing out.
Thanks for your hard work, I really can tell the difference. Now lemmy.ml is much more responsive than before
Thank you so much for all the hard work, I’m really loving it here.
⭐ lemmy star award! I agree, I’m enjoying my time jere much more than at reddit.
This new machine is speedy! Getting pretty much instant loading times. Thank you to the donators, I will be joining you soon!
Hi @[email protected]. Thanks for the upgrade and for your work.
May I ask about the resources utilization now? CPU, RAM, storage? Thanks!
Have we explored the possibility of “porting” the larger communities to other instances? It seems that many of us simply wish to subscribe to the largest (insert type of community here) and can do so from various home instances. Might lower demand on this specific instance at the very least.
Something isn’t working with ipv6, on my phone network I get nginx 502 but on wifi it works
It’s giving me a 502 error on my computer as well but is working on my phone using WiFi.
@v_krishna @nutomic not working on my phone either. Same error
I haven’t dug into the bowels of lemmy, but is there anything to be gained by scaling horizontally?
Noticeably faster! Thank you.
This sounds wonderful!
