How much is this costing you? Also who is your host? Is it on a virtual machine?
They have a dedicated server: https://lemmy.world/post/75556
Whoa, cool. Thanks. Only a matter of time until it gets overloaded though. Can't Lemmy run in a container service like Cloud Run or AWS App Runner?
Yeah, you could do it in AWS with ECS or Fargate.

Indeed you can, very cool.
It's actually pretty funny to see him mention the growth (almost 12k users!) considering they've added, what, 50k or so users recently?
I signed up three days before that post. They were the largest instance with open signups. Almost 1000 users.
Dedicated means local?
Dedicated usually means it’s not splitting cpu time with another instance. It could mean a local machine but it does not have to be one.
Tbh I'd see it hard to be local, so maybe it is cloud computing but a standalone instance as you just said.
No, it means it's got the physical machine all to itself. It's a rented server located in a Hetzner data center.
My homies love dedicated servers
