So… how’s Lemmy doing? Any plans to upgrade soon? It’s pretty slow and really hit or miss with loading. About 40% of the things either don’t open or fail to post.
And I’m fine with that! For now. Growing pains and whatnot. But it’d be cool to see some plans on how Lemmy is prepared to handle this growth. It already lacks a number of smaller communities I miss, so if there’s to be any reason to use it, it’s gotta at least function.
NCL is the instance I host if anyone wants to try it out:
We’re still pretty small, and are currently using account applications, but you’ll be accepted within a few hours no problem. We’re focusing on providing a first-rate experience with federated content, a neutral and apolitical experience regarding local content, and a fully-functional backend with regular maintenance. I’m basically doing this myself in my spare time at the moment, but the long-term goal is to have it pay for itself through donations. We don’t really have anything particularly special to offer from any other small-time instance, aside from the promise that we’re serious about sticking around and fixing things when they need fixed.
