Instance Updates - 06/11/2023

In preparation for a (hopeful) influx of users, I've bumped up the resources for the server a bit. We're now running on 4 cores/8gb ram and a 512tb disk on one of my OVH servers, and I may setup a larger disk for image storage if it winds up growing quickly. I've got plenty of resources to spare so there shouldn't be any scalability issues.

Email is also functional and now required for all new signups. No admin validation is required at the moment, but this could change if we start getting a flood of bots or something.

I am also looking for an admin or two to assist with the day-to-day management of this. Not sure what that will look like since I'm pretty new to Lemmy, so any help is appreciated.
