I to am very much here! but as long as there are backups I dont see any reason to have hot spare level of redundancy.
I like being on a smaller side instance so we get the best of both worlds where we can connect to other instances without a big fear of defed. I enjoy content on Behaww and Lemmy.world but the two dont always seem to get along.
Also, if you want to maintain some level of redundancy I have hardware running 24/7 on UPS with fiber internet that I would be happy to work with you on setting up as a backup.
I use a managed database that costs $120/month alone for just the Lemmy db. I went a little overkill on trying to make this a great scalable instance. I'm paying like $600/month out of pocket running all these services. I have to bring it down... says the wife.
Hell yeah lets bring that donw, but again Happy to assist on the hardware side if I can. 600/m is not sustainable the wife is right!
It’s difficult, it’s getting to the stage where some sort of backup server is needed and that costs.
compuverse.uk went down because of a hardware issue for nearly a month.
Ultimately we might find users on one or two big instances. Which would be ironic.
