Truly loving this instance, and UK servers are clearly helping with speed for both the website version and API calls from Connect for Lemmy.

Thanks @tom@feddit.uk - your work is greatly appreciated (buy him a coffee!) and I truly hope Lemmy takes off as the new MANY front pages of the Internet. 🙂

My worry is about how this scales. It's fast for now, but as we get more users it'll slow down, and the costs will increase as the infra needs to scale up. There will be a point where Tom decides he doesn't want to support it anymore or can't.

I'd be quite interested to know the monthly costs for running the instance and what's involved.

I'm not overly worried. There are plenty of Mastodon servers out there that have been running happily for years on donations. The running costs, while I'm sure aren't insignificant, are also nowhere near what it takes for somewhere like Reddit.

The good thing with the Fediverse is that the more users it attracts, the more servers spring up to accomodate. That's kind of the whole point, to balance the load between servers rather than have everyone on the same one.
