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.

      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.

        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.

        @nutomic@lemmy.ml Thanks for upgrading the server!

        You are right, I forgot to configure IPv6. Will be fixed shortly.

        Edit: Should be fixed now.

      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.

    I can feel the difference already. Really enjoying it here and while I wouldn’t let some technical difficulties stop me, I think it will help grow the community. Thank you!

    Thank you! I can actually participate now!! I have several screen shots saved of my profile showing me logged in under random user names over the last few days. . Shit was weird. I couldn’t post, couldn’t stay logged in, or I’d see a strange profile name if it actually let me click into a thread. Everything seems to be solid today.

    Thank you for your hard work! Although I kinda foresee for the future if Lemmy really would become the new “reddit” with such servers and millions of users, wouldn’t that also rise the server costs and ultimately make the hosts dependent on asking money for it, maybe by a paywall or by ads? I think to make this community really be “free” without any host responsible for spending a huge amount of money for servers, the best solution would be to make the actual “servers” be a p2p cluster. Unfortunately I’m not quite sure how to realize that without losing a huge fraction of the model if a lot of nodes (i.e., the actual users) are offline. Sorry, I’m just brainstorming.
