We have data on what it costs to run a sizeable instance of Lemmy and it’s not a lot. How does Piefed compare? Anyone starting an instance who envisions it growing large has to contend with this question.

I don't think this is a major concern yet. The largest PieFed instance has 308 active users, 2nd place has 34. They've got room to grow.

People can start posting about PieFed on Reddit and see how the Reddit users react.

Does it make sense to host your own instance of lemmy for one user?

Not really lol, but if you think it will be fun then go for it

They were online earlier, they'll probably be back

57,253 now that April 1st has been counted. Not as big a gain today as some recent days, but still gaining.

But I think that includes the loss of mander.xyz, you can see the drop in the number of online servers, so that's actually impressive that we still grew even with mander offline, hopefully they come back.

Looks like mander was at 188 MAU. https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/mander.xyz

EDIT: mander.xyz is back online

  1. "sort": that's the word for the options of "new", "scaled", "active" etc, right?

  1. @Die4Ever pointed out there's a "Show Read Posts" option in the settings. I've unticked that and will see how it goes.

I honestly don't use this feature myself lol but I hope it helps you!

Chat view is very useful for going back and checking a large thread that you've read before

Recently I used this for the AMA thread

It's definitely a concern. People ask these questions about Lemmy, but no one asks how the horizontal scaling of Twitter functions and then complains that your explanation is too technical.
