Truly loving this instance, and UK servers are clearly helping with speed for both the website version and API calls from Connect for Lemmy.
Thanks @tom@feddit.uk - your work is greatly appreciated (buy him a coffee!) and I truly hope Lemmy takes off as the new MANY front pages of the Internet. 🙂
I initially made a world account but it’s very slow and fails a lot so I’ll probably just hang out here instead
My worry is about how this scales. It’s fast for now, but as we get more users it’ll slow down, and the costs will increase as the infra needs to scale up. There will be a point where Tom decides he doesn’t want to support it anymore or can’t.
I’d be quite interested to know the monthly costs for running the instance and what’s involved.
The nature of it being a UK orientated instance will hopefully help to limit the appeal to manageable amount.
