       | HackerNews' design and way better than the current default look
       | of Lemmy instances.

       | at Hetzner: a 32-core/64 thread 128GB RAM dedicated server. (For
       | Mastodon, I doubled the RAM. For Lemmy I don't think it's needed
       | yet.) I migrated the Lemmy software and database there, and moved
       | over. This took 4 minutes of downtime.
       | 
       | So 32-core/64-threads with 128GB of RAM is running Lemmy.world,
       | which is supporting ~36.7k users at the moment.

       | A brief look at Hertzner comes up with:

       | A 32-core/64 thread + 128GB RAM server in Germany for 142 EUR /
       | month.

           | seamless, it wouldn't matter where you signed up and they
           | could just host multiple lemmy instances on different
           | servers. So far I have rather spotty experiences though with
           | content sometimes making it to federated servers, sometimes

       | So, single server scaled vertically? Gross.
