I saw the impressive setup used by the sh.itjust.works instance with 24 CPUs and 64 GB RAM. This inspired me to reconfigure join-lemmy.org so that it can quickly update the instance list, and point users to sites which are actually reachable. This will be an immense help if a lot of Reddit users decide to join Lemmy at once (e.g. during the blackout on Monday). Individual instances will likely go down at that time, but others will stay available and users can easily join them.

Additionally, changes to the site, documentation and translations are also updated automatically. If you see anything that can be improved, consider making a contribution to help new users.

      Because its a different project. Does the Mastodon website list Pleroma or Friendica instances?

        I think it would be worth listing the projects, even if not the instances. I’m still new to all the federation stuff, but my account is through kbin and I’m loving the low-key, small community feel with the freedom to go anywhere and interact across projects seamlessly.
