I assume this is to be expected as we get closer to the reddit blackout date but I’m just wondering if lemmy.ml is running slower for anyone than usual?

    Yep, that’s my thoughts. I’m gonna cap my instance at a low number. (Gonna start at 100 and see what usage is like) It’s not much but it’s what I can do without worrying about crazy hosting costs.

      I host a lot of stuff for family and friends (nextcloud, email, etc). This will be no different for me. I suspect I can handle a few hundred users on my setup before I run out of resources that I’m willing to readily allocate to this. I will gladly do so indefinitely in the foreseeable future. I think I’ll keep it friends of friends sort of thing though. That way the communities mean something more on my instance.

      If Google fiber comes into my area like they’re expected to… they appear to offer 8Gbps, I might up that number considerably under a new domain and instance.

        Ah I’m really not worried about my “local” instance. I just go to the “all” and "subscribed tabs. Honestly it makes it a lot less confusing and much more cohesive for the end user if they can pretty much ignore the instance and think “oh it’s Reddit but usernames and subreddits look like emails”
