We are working on improving load balancing today and distributing the instance across multiple servers. As a result, you may see some timeouts, thank you for your patience.
We just made it past 1000 signups this morning. Nearly everyone joining had very thoughtful and meaningful explanations of why they want to try using this instance. It is an amazing time for the internet and we truly appreciate SDF being a part of this.
Earlier this morning SDF Chatter was upgraded for Lemmy 0.17.4.
RIght now we're trying out a few methods of distributing the service across multiple hosts much in the same way that we have grown the SDF Mastodon instance.
Thankfully, the Lemmy code is performing very well in its current configuration and the SDF community is growing at a moderate pace.
If the Fediverse does take on a full migration of the Reddit community whole, it would seem now is the time for that. A lot was learned from the Twitter migration last fall and while many instances were not prepared and scrambled to accommodate for folks, those communities have built the infrastructure since then and it is ready for you all.
How exciting is that?
Fediverse 2023!

From what we learned last September with the spike in Mastodon usage, we're getting a head of things. We're setting up multiple Lemmy servers to help balance load on front end requests just as we do with Mastodon. So far, Lemmy's performance has been excellent with minimal resource usage, but distributing the load for pict-rs and front end requests should help us if we do indeed (and hopefully so) get a rush of new folks that want to leave reddit and grow the Fediverse.
