Timeouts, Upgrades and the FUTURE (lemy.lol)

Hi everyone! I'm the new(ish) admin of lemy.lol, I should have made an introductory post months ago when I took over, but ya know it's one of those things you say you'll do "tomorrow" and then "tomorrow" turns into 6 months lol

Speaking of things taking 6 months, I'm sure many of you have noticed the growing problem of timeouts and errors.

That's now FIXED. It was bot/scraper traffic bogging shit down, a new rule and some config changes in cloudflare and things appear to now be singing along.

Lemy.lol lemmy backend has also been upgraded to the current 19.20 up from the relatively ancient 19.13

Now for the future

  1. lemy.lol is currently hosted on a VPS on Hetzner in Germany as it was while ISO was at the helm. I've been sketching out migrating lemy over to my own infrastructure where it'll have much more resources to play with and a fat 10gig pipe.

    However, that means lemy would be hosted in America. Sooo now's your chance to comment if you'd rather not or if you don't care. I do have an alt plan where I can just split the traffic via load balancing, EU origin users would continue to be served out of Hetzner/Germany (accepting there may or may not be performance issue later on) if there's enough interest

  2. I'm also planning to deploy Anubis at some point to tackle any lingering bot issues

  3. Upload limits are now up to 150MB, have fun, maybe someone could start a HighQualityGifs comm wink wink

That's all I have for now, you guys can always PM me here on lem or on my matrix account cm0002@catgirl.cloud

ETA

Oh and before I forget, yes Tesseract UI has been shutdown because of absolute shitty dev behavior from AdmiralPatrick if any of you weren't aware by now

Lemy.lol is not closing 🥳 (lemy.lol)

Following the announcement of the instance's closure, @cm0002@lemy.lol offered to take over the instance. I am grateful to them for this. I prefer it going to someone else rather than shutting down completely.

Although it probably wouldn't be an issue, I prefer not to share the private information of all users. Therefore, all email addresses and private messages registered in the system will be deleted. Password hashes will remain as they are, since they are irreversibly hashed.

I thank @cm0002 for choosing to take over.

Lemy.lol is (not) closing (lemy.lol)

Sadly, like all good things, this too must come to an end.

Between rising server costs, my waning interest in self-hosting, and saving up to upgrade my car, I’ve decided it's time to pull the plug :) I plan to shut things down sometime in the next few weeks or months; I haven't set an exact date yet.

As for lemmy-federate.com, I plan to refactor and migrate it to Cloudflare Workers -which should be cheap enough to run- unless someone else steps up to take it over.

Honestly, it was a great run while it lasted. Cheers everyone. I kiss you.

Updated to 0.19.13 and added Tesseract UI (kind of late) (lemy.lol)

It's been a few days since 0.19.13 update was released and since it seemed stable, I updated it.

I also added Tesseract UI by request, even though it has been abandoned for a while. I plan to keep it until it stops working.

If you like the platform and would like to support it:

And for the haters, the frog is still here!

lemy.lol is 2 years old! (with a downtime 🤦‍♂️) (lemy.lol)

Today is the 2nd cake day of lemy.lol and I learned this in an interesting way. When I tried to use the instance, I came across Dynadot's "this domain has expired" page. It turns out that the expiration emails went to spam and the domain expired :)

I renewed it immediately but I think it will take a while for it to be propagated. Sorry about that. I'll go to another provider and extend it for another 5 years :)

Thank you to everyone who uses lemy.lol and don't forget to donate to Lemmy! https://join-lemmy.org/donate

"Breaks Community Rules" is no longer a valid report reason in lemy.lol (lemy.lol)

When the reason for the report is a generic sentence, it is necessary to read the entire comment thread to understand the full context. Therefore, please write, even if it is just 2 words, why the content you are reporting should be removed. From now on, reports of this type will be ignored (except for some cases).

Also, while we are on the subject of reports and content preferences, I would like to add that this instance does not attempt to appeal to mainstream opinion. Content that does not align with your political preferences may not be removed. However, I am aware that this policy attracts trolls and I try to intervene as much as I can.

If you want a more refined instance, you can try: beehaw.org, lemmy.blahaj.zone, dubvee.org, lemmy.ca, piefed.social etc.
