Hello everyone,
Still trying to get used to the new setup over on Lemmy, however trying to make some new communities work. Want to get /c/ontario and /c/waterloo running with some active discussions and people. Hopefully we can make a difference. :)
Edit: I'd also love to know the hardware that you're running this on!
Hello & welcome!
I'm currently running this on a small VPS at linode, but i've been thinking about switching to a more canadian-based vps that i've used in the past.
lemmy the software has very low system requirements, so it's currently running on a 1 CPU 2 GB RAM vm.
edit: whoops meant to say "low", not "slow"!
Cool, I figured it would need more resources. But I suppose scaling is tomorrows problem. :D
i think the lemmy dev's have said that lemmy.ml (which has many more active users) runs on a very low resource machine as well, plus they have a bunch of other stuff running on the same machine too, i can't remember the exact specs however.
Another silly question. Is there a reason lemmy.ca isn't listed on https://join-lemmy.org/instances?
Hmmm, that's weird, it should be. it was a few days ago I believe. I'll check in with the devs. Thanks for letting me know!
edit: apparently it was a bug in the RC version of lemmy i was running for a few days. now that i'm on the release 0.17.3, it should be back on there later today.
I'm still not fully grasping this. Am I supposed to make accounts for multiple instances?
Hello! I have a question. In the settings, there’s this thing called the Matrix User. What is it for/What does it do, and would it be useful to make a Matrix account?
One thing I find confusing is the notification bell icon. I notice that even if I check it, it still registers the same number of notifications that it had done previously. This number never seems to go down. What's with that?
