Welp, after failing miserably to set up reminders to pay every month manually, I finally set up a Patreon to donate to @stux for mstdn.social and @ruud for lemmy.world - thank you for all the work you both do!

If you can, y'all, support your platforms & servers!

Directing someone new to ?

A "New Users" community has been started ... could be helpful as a first port of call: https://lemmy.world/c/newusers

@maegul @renwillis @fediversenews We’re actually troubleshooting this right now with some other server admins, and 1 of the Lemmy devs.

settles on its being central instance: lemmy.world () run by @ruud

Its numbers are now big enough to be counted amongst the top 5-10 masto instances! (https://fedidb.org/network/instance/lemmy.world) as become the “second platform” by size.

Apart from running it well and keeping up to date (recent update seems to have gone well, with a nice example of instances and admins helping each other!?), some redditers seek the big instances?? Curious how communities will adapt.

@digitalRightsNinja @md @maegul @fediversenews Why would you think we hide that? We announced it. https://lemmy.world/post/1998212

@digitalRightsNinja @md @maegul @fediversenews By the way we’re now working on a change to our signup page so it will guide people to choose from a list of other Generic instances.

@digitalRightsNinja @md @maegul @fediversenews That can be considered. As mentioned in the post, using CF was an emergency measure, because we knew it worked for some other instances. We’ll be looking into alternatives as soon as the script kiddies gives us some time to breathe

@digitalRightsNinja @md @maegul @fediversenews If you would know any alternatives, which are less problematic, that would be appreciated. Preferrably some who are large enough to handle ddos. I only know of a few like Fastly, Bunny etc and would need to do proper investigation to find a suitable replacement. I think some others in our team know a few.
