I got march of shamed once because I genuinely forgot, it somehow shortcircuits my brain when I need to wait for approval, thinking I’ve already paid and walk out after waiting for the person to come tap some buttons :|

Sure, I’ve created one here for you guys: https://mastodon.social/@latteisnotcoffee

It seems to be a Lemmy issue, I’m pretty sure it would eat 16GB as well :) but possibly fixed in 18.x so I’m going to wait for that upgrade first

Pretty sure Lemmy has a memory leak, it’ll eat all the memory of the server and need a reboot. This was with 8GB of RAM as well, but hopefully getting it updated to 0.18.x will fix that (but I heard there’s an issue with XSS at the moment so I’m holding back)

Yes of course, originally I planned to do this server move with a bit less “bang” but the server crashed for the… 4th time this weekend, so it was more of a “Fuck it let’s do this” sort of thing.

I planned a page to show progress and everything, but never got the time to deploy it :')

No need for now, if it gets to be more of a handful I will start asking for mods, maybe crowdfund a larger server etc but I suspect it’ll be alright :)

Aye we’re still on 0.17.4, mostly because I was lazy, but it seems to have worked out in this case. I’ll give 0.18 a little time to settle before we upgrade

Hey :) I don’t think we can drill down into communities yet, the search page is a bit haphazard unfortunately but I think 18.0 is supposed to bring a whole host of new features so I’m just waiting for that for now - deselecting NSFW in your profile does indeed work and stop them showing in results though.

And no problem! We’re a small server but I enjoy hosting it :D

My lemmy instance :)

I used to self-host email with email and postfix, but I gave up with the amount of spam coming my way and moved to Proton

iamthatis (Apollo) even said he could do it with a bit more time after the initial shock, some negotiation etc, he was willing to try if Reddit would throw him anything at all so it was possible. But Reddit instead shut down all communication then lied about what happened
