South East Alaska [2048x1536][OC]

This was taken on a cruise on a rare day when the sun came out and I could watch the sun set -- at 11pm. :D

This is what happiness looks like for Ellie

Was at my parent's house in cool weather and we were able to play fetch until she was completely exhausted. Then we had BBQ haha.

    How can lemmy handle 5k+ signups per hour on Monday?

    When reddit goes dark on Monday, there will be a horde of people looking for an alternative. When the APIs go dark at the end of the month, another horde will come. When /u/spez says just about anything, it'll happen again. What can we do to prep here for that? How can we attract good moderators to moderate communities here?

    Just listing things I noticed from the twitter/mastodon migration:

    • Mastodon had a few thousand signups per hour during the peak times.
    • Having a single instance (or even a small number) really simplifies the signup process. How can we scale lemmy.ml and other big instances now to prep for Monday?
    • I'm seeing communities already pop up (/c/earthporn, /c/photography and my favorite /c/jeep). If we can keep content flowing through some of the big communities, it'll help people come back on Tuesday. (On a Sunday night at 7pm MDT, the backend on lemmy.ml is getting crushed and posting is haphazardly working for me...)
    • A good intro doc would help folks get up to speed faster (this is how lemmy/fediverse works, he's a list of mobile apps you can use, here's how to sign up on patreon... etc).

    Scaling lemmy.ml, beehaw.org, and lemmy.one (those are the ones mentioned in the pinned post for "joining") is probably the biggest priority. If owners of these instances need money to pay for server fees, expertise with server migrations, deployments, scaling, dev work, etc, they really need to communicate.

    The proverbial "call to arms" would be appropriate.

    We've got lots of super nerdy folks here that can donate time/money. Personally, I'm not sure how I can help right now. (Currently subbed on Patreon, but that's it).

  • I'll try to post some photos myself. Not sure if lemmy just doesn't like imgur or what though... previews aren't showing up.

    EDIT: Imgur doesn't appear to generate thumbnails in the feed. Uploading directly to lemmy.

  • Ah -- got it. You should probably drop the [OC] tag in the title.

  • Was gonna say... this sunset is pretty outstanding.... then noticed it was night time. Awesome shot... unfortunate for the park though. I also wanted to say, I follow your IG -- I love your photos. I hope you keep posting here.
