The admins are probably ignorant sluts, I guess.

Are you that site's owner (a.k.a. Dr_Frankenstein)? 🙂

I added another 32GB to my 923+ recently. Looking around, I found that speicher.de (German shop specializing in RAM) offers RAM for specific Diskstation models beyond Synology's specification, and they guarantee you that it's going to be working! (They call this "overRAMing"). For the DS920+, you can find the offered RAM sizes here. I have had zero problems, my NAS now has 36 GB RAM, shows no errors or warnings, and I'll probably upgrade it to overall 64 GB sometime. And my 218+ runs with 10 GB RAM since several years without any issues or warnings. Rather the opposite: in both cases, the difference was tremendous, it felt like entirely new (much faster) devices. I can highly recommend.

[Edit: I changed the German links to the corresponding ones of their English site]

Beautifully written, and moving. I think I understand how you feel, and I empathize with you.

This would be cool regarding the current scaling problems with too many users choosing the same instance (it would make “distributing” the load easier my making it possible to move already created, existing accounts, if the user wishes to), and also would it solve the problem if an instance is to be shut down for whatever reason, people also could “take their stuff” and go “somewhere else”. Let's see, maybe it'll be possible in the future.

If I were to switch from Lemmy to KBin (or vice versa), would I have to start over (e.g. create a new account there and loae all my comments etc.)? Or would it be possible to "migrate"?

The closest free alternative to Trello would be Planka, IMHO. It works really well (rock stable, quick, painless), is pretty and doesn't need much resources. The only thing I miss (which Trello also lacks, btw) is the ability to have subtasks in the way Jira allows them; for this, Plane or Leantime might be good candidates (I haven't used either of them yet, though).
