I wrote my fist post about Lemmy.world. When June is finished, I’ll also include Lemmy in the financial update on the same blog.

    I love this type of “behind the scenes” posts, thanks for sharing!

    p.s. how can you do all that work? do you ever sleep? :D

      Well at the moment it’s kind of much… with Lemmy, work, family, hobbies… But as soon as Lemmy gets more stable, and the moderator teams are in place, it will be more quiet

        You have a full plate! I think it’s ts easy for us users to picture admins as fully working on the big picture and nothing else, but you’re somehow juggling it all in with a very full daily life! I for one (and many others) really appreciate your herculean effort. I hope getting time for yourself as well.

          Well this is a hobby. One of many hobbies I have. But at the moment the one taking up most time. But that’s why I’m looking for a team. Some to help me admin my servers, some to moderate. The bigger the team, the less work for each, and the more coverage of timezones etc.

          But that’s a work in progress.

    Thanks and congrations! Btw is there a page where we can (financially) contribute in some way?

    Delightfully straightforward update, thank you. I wonder if Hetzner would be willing to offer a discounted rate if they knew what everyone here is trying to do.

      That’s a good thought, I will check with them.

    This simple blog post may some day go down in history.

        Everything about this is cool! It feels like an “internet” reboot.

    Thanks for keeping everyone updated while doing everything you’re doing in your home life too. And again thanks for making lemmy.world happen.

    Who on earth downvoted an update by Ruud though!?

      I initially was directed to beehaw from reddit and it felt so off I decided to try a different instance before I made an account, and settled here. Could not have made a better call! This is hands down the best instance imo.

    First Lemmy instance for me! I’m super interested in what’s going on over here, it’s fascinating watching something like this grow. I hope some of the guys who worked on the mod tools on Reddit jump over here to help develop tools here.

    It’s awesome to see a posts like this that’s so open about what going on behind the scenes. I’m new to this fediverse stuff. It’s taking a while to learn about it all, but I really like the open source nature of it all, and not being reliant on a single corporate entity. I really want to see Lemmy, and this instance, as well as other fediverse projects succeed and grow. I happily donated. Keep up the good work!

    Will you be posting every time there’s a new blog post? I’m interested to keep reading these!

      Yes I think so. You could also follow @[email protected] if you have mastodon, calckey, Akkoma or any such fediverse account.
