I think it's ok to have both. Eventually this will be implemented which will make this moot: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/818
But also, I think lemmy won't be able to handle the load well and they won't hear my advice on how to prepare, so I think it's better I take responsibility for the community I've been nurturing for the past 10 years, myself

I don't have something to compare it to. As it's still empty, performance is still good.

I was doing that as well, but it wasn't the problem. The problem was apparently caused by a too-long site name
db0 Now • 100%
I managed to get it to run. I checked in postgresql logs and it seems it was caused by trying to add into site. Apparently the site name cannot be more than 20 chars but this is mentioned nowhere in the documentation.
And when this happens, it causes this cascade of somehow trying to recreate the admin again and again, which is a red herring after all.

Worse. Restarting the container, seems to keep recreating that user 3 times again. Then always fails with
lemmy_1 | Error: LemmyError { message: None, inner: value too long for type character varying(20), context: "SpanTrace" }

I dropped the contraints manually to test, and it indeed seems to create the admin account 3 times for some reason!
I am trying to install Lemmy, I am using a modified ansible role so that it deploys the DB on an external postgresql instead of a docker one. Installation always fails with ``` lemmy_1 | thread 'main' panicked at 'couldnt create local user: DatabaseError(UniqueViolation, "duplicate key value violates unique constraint \"local_user_email_key\"")', crates/db_schema/src/impls/local_us er.rs:157:8 ``` The tables seem created and the admin user exists in them, so I'm not sure what else it's trying to create and has a duplicate email. Earlier I also noticed this once, but I don't know if it's relevant ``` lemmy_1 | Error: LemmyError { message: None, inner: value too long for type character varying(20), context: "SpanTrace" } ``` This one only seems to appeared the one time. I tried dropping and recreating the DB. same issue everytime.

Even if you choose Hetzner, it won't even know it has anything to do with piracy because it will be just hosting the DB, and nobody will know where your DB is. That fear is overblown.
Likewise believe me a dedicated server is night and day from a VPS.

Do you have the frontend a DB serving in the same VPS? If so it would be a great time to split them. Likewise if you DB is running in a VPS, you're likely suffering from significant steal from the hypervisor so you would benefit from switching to a dedicated box. My API calls saw a speedup of 10x just from switching from a VPS DB to a Dedicated Box DB.
I just checked OVH VPS offers and they're shit! Even at 70 Eur dedicated on hetzner, you would gain more than double those resources without steal. I would recommend switching your DB ASAP for immediate massive gains.
If you're wondering why you should listen to me, I built and run https://aihorde.net and are handling about 5K concurrent connections currently.

@dessalines@lemmy.ml can a user from a different instance be a mod in a community in lemmy.ml? Would be nice to have mod access from elsewhere in case lemmy.ml goes down.

try using jdownloader. It typically has workarounds to handle this stuff seamlessly.

Yeah I'm not too keen on it either tbh. I prefer lemmy as well. I tried in the past with scuttlebutt as well but it didn't stick.

Cheers! I'll make a sticky in /r/piracy soon to make people update their bookmarks and maybe we can have some early adopters here as well

There's other alternatives, like Aether or my own lemmy instance. But I tend to try the path of least resistance first.

Years of prime advice was nuked when you erased everything but the last 6 months of history.
You realize the alternative was to lose the subreddit to the reddit admins, yes?

Unfortunately, point A is unavoidable. We already got contacted by the reddit admins with an almost impossible demand (police not only new stuff, but also historical stuff) so we had to take a very draconian approach to avoid takedown.
While I agree with point B myself, being a staunch proponent of copylefts, it doesn't make sense to censor people for not being as radical as we area. It's by rubbing noses with us that they will change their tune.
To be clear, I am generally not against being more explicit anti-centralized, but while growing /r/piracy, it didn't make sense.
At the same time, I welcome genuine pro-piracy mods from reddit who would like to get started over here, and do a better job building and growing this community more than I ever could. If you sticky a post or put something in the sidebar of /r/piracy having this as a backup, I’ll mod you.
Done. Check the the sidebar in https://old.reddit.com/r/Piracy/
The main objective here is to be able to redirect people over and make sure we don't splinter the community if and when reddit takes action against /r/piracy.

If I am going to redirect all the sizable community of reddit /r/piracy to a safe haven, I feel I have a responsibility to make sure that the destination is well run. The only way I can do that is to be a mod.

Thanks. We try :)
Hey y'all, In the past [I had arranged that /f/piracy in raddle.me would be the fallback forum](https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/b2fte3/the_fallback/) for /r/piracy, but I recently noticed that raddle.me has disabled new user registrations and that would be a problem in case we need it. And with reddit about to go public, it might be needed. Instead of trying to spin up my own lemmy instance, I was thinking if I could get a mod position in this forum and specify it as the official /r/piracy fallback instead. Feel free to [PM me in reddit](https://www.reddit.com/user/dbzer0/) for verification.
Hey everyone, for the past year I've been working on a [card game framework](https://github.com/db0/godot-card-game-framework) and I've recently started working on my own game using it. Please take a look and give it a try. I welcome any and all feedback, and you want to contribute in any area, I'd love the help!
