Yeah that went wrong when copy/pasting the text, I'll fix it.
Yes, there has been quite a lot of trolls and attacks on our server, so we're very careful about who we let on the team. I'm sure you'll understand.
Well .world is also managed partly from NL :-)
Anything that the family uses. Because when I cease to exist, my wife isn't gonna take over self-hosting! So e-mail, chat, documents etc.
I'll check the new way Lemmy detects dead servers, it's possible an outage caused lemmy.ml to think we're dead (we're not!) :-)
No, we did some rate limiting to try and fight off some attacks, but now some are too strict. We'll tune these so they won't bother you anymore.
Ask in their GitHub repo.
Well there's about 5 to 10 people constantly working on these servers, so if they weren't volunteers, it would be a lot more... But yeah overall it's quite efficient so far.
Good point, I'll update the post.
Ooh I need to check the size of the custom emoji 😄
This is lemmy.world after 4 weeks:
58G pictrs
34G postgres
I think the links and usernames are now OK.
