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.

      They’ve bumped the server much more than the original posted VM. I was pointing to the zabbix charts and actual usage. Notice CPU is sub 20%, and the network usage being sub 200Mbits. There’s plenty of headroom.

          I care less about what it is running on, but what is consumed. At sub 20% usage, it really doesn’t matter what the hardware is, because the overall spec is not the bottle neck.

              I don’t know if you’re totally missing it… here is the CPU usage from 3 hours ago: https://lemmy.world/comment/377946

              Even if you 4x the usage from the alleged 400% growth, the spec of the server itself is not the bottleneck. They’ve also significantly increased the federation workers to 10000 based on my private chat… so something is not scaling to the fullest potential.

              I think the point of focus should be more on why it is not using all the resources available, rather than ‘that server is weak’. We’re about to see a much larger influx up comes July 1st that’s going to make the 400% growth look like a joke, and if current larger instances aren’t able to handle the federation now, the current smaller instances will buck hard up comes the big move.
