All those long nights working on backend scalability and performance improvements are about to be put to the test

I wasn’t anticipating this attention for a few more months, but I’m ready 😎

    It’s a platform still in its infancy but improving rapidly, social.photo is a pretty good one if you want a smaller instance, it’s hosted by the admin over at discuss.online. I’m not a member of discuss.online but I can vouch that @[email protected] is an awesome sysadmin and I have full faith in him maintaining that instance long term (if you’re ever worried of signing up to a small instance and it disappearing… I highly doubt his stuff will.). Currently migration isn’t added into pixelfed yet (its being worked on though) but I am gonna sign up to that one anyway, it’s always best to spread around the federation.

    Might be worth reaching out to lemmy.ca admins though and seeing if they have one spun up or would be willing to as well.

      Thanks @[email protected]! https://social.photo. I just opened registration so it’s still very young. I am running Lemmy on https://discuss.online, Mastodon on https://utter.online and Pixelfed on https://social.photo. I also run a matrix instance on the same discuss.online domain.

      I’m based in Ohio, US; however, the servers are in New York on DigitalOcean. That’s really close to Canada :).

      I’m trying to build an ecosystem under the https://participating.online brand. I don’t plan on going anywhere.

      In fact, I had planned to build something many years ago and I’ll probably start on it now. It will provide a unique experience once it’s done in a several months. I’m working on some other stuff first… like myself.
