Are there any Discord servers or somewhere in the Matrix to chat about hosting a Lemmy instance? I’ve got Lemmy running, but I think there are several of us in the same boat struggling with federation performance issues and it might be good to have some place to chat real time.
I think it is less about pointing fingers as to who’s at blame, and trying to see if there are things we can do to resolve/alleviate that.
I recall reading somewhere that @[email protected] mentioned before that the server is scaled all the way up to a fairly beefy dedicated server already, perhaps it is soon time to scale this service horizontally across multiple servers. If nothing else, I think a lot of value could be gained by moving the database to a separate server than the UI/backend server as a first step, which shouldn’t take too much effort (other than recurring $ and a bit of admin time) even with the current Lemmy code base/deployment workflow…
