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.

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

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!?

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

I donated! Also let me know if you want mod help.

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

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!

Congratulations on your achievements!

Do you have some technical tips for other not so experienced admins? (I just started a Lemmy instance for my country)

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

Well done. Thanks, hero.

That was a nice read, thanks for all your work @ruud@lemmy.world ! I hope that you can get a good rest soon after things settle down a bit

thanks for your efforts

Nice! Perhaps thats a good idea.. A writefreely blog for such updates!
