If you want lemmy to work well, speak with /u/sunaurus@lemm.ee, he’ll sort you out. Dude is a legend and runs the best instance, IMO, but is always willing to help other instances.

My instance’s been running at ~0.8 of load average, everything on one box and it also runs Matrix and a few other services. I’ve never felt the need to SSH in and even look at it.

I know it doesn’t scale great but it’s far from the worst offender I’ve hosted either.

This is cool to see. I tried my hand at running an instance most of last year but threw in the towel this past January. It was just me and 1-2 other active users and none of this software is wide spread enough to have a good solid support community. I really appreciate the people out there dedicating their time and other resources to making this work. (Truthfully, I didn’t put a ton of thought into how and where I was hosting my instance before inviting others to sign up, which is on me, and I think is what ultimately came back to haunt me down the line - my GoToSocial instance is much healthier, for example)

Counterintuitive that python is performing better than rust. Probably goes to show that software architecture probably does play a big part in performance.

Do lemmy apps work with it ?
