With forewarning about a huge influx of users, you know Lemmy.ml will go down. Even if people go to https://join-lemmy.org/instances and disperse among the great instances there, the servers will go down.

Ruqqus had this issue too. Every time there was a mass exodus from Reddit, Ruqqus would go down, and hardly reap the rewards.

Even if it’s not sustainable, just for one month, I’d like to see Lemmy.ml drastically boost their server power. If we can raise money as a community, what kind of server could we get for 100$? 500$? 1,000$?

    Can you provide any info about the number of pageviews/month or pageviews/hr that setup can support for lemmy?

      No, I have nu clue about that yet. I’ll monitor how Lemmy behaves and try to scale. Maybe after a while I can say something about it.
