Apparently in some parts of the world it’s already Monday June 12th. I see registrations going up.
This results in the server CPU staying around 70% even spiking over 90%. So I will upgrade the VPS from 4cpu/16GB to 8cpu/32GB.
Expect a few minutes downtime at 17:00 CET
Then I move it to a dedicated server, like I did with mastodon.world which has 164k users and had over 100k active users at it’s peak.
Oh, you know what you’re doing, then! Awesome.
How is the funding? Do you need help? Will this be a long term project?
Funding is still OK but we might need to upgrade the server again soon. Links for funding are on the homepage sidebar. I don’t quit this server as long as it’s used. If I ever get tired of it I hand it over.
I was thinking of starting my own server first and host it on hetzner or digitalocean because I have good experience with those and they’re easy to scale. Anyway I’m here now and it’s better to see this one grow :) If I can help in any way let me know.
Awesome :) glad to see this instance has some staying power!
