Anyone is welcome to join my instance at endlesstalk.org. Its running on a pretty beefy server, so it can take a decent amount of users.
There are multiple frontends like lemmy.world and I have setup a seeder(lemmony), so the all feed should be pretty filled.
About 2 months, 62 comments, 17 post. The post are mostly server updates for my instance though.
Still a big improvement over reddit though, since I just lurked there. Think I have more comments now, than in all my 9 years on reddit.

I have a younger sister and we get along fine. We take a couple of vacations together with our father each year and also meet up once in a while, when it is possible.
After hosting my own instance with just me for ca. 2 weeks:
1.99Gi pictrs
5.21Gi postgres
The internal path, I’m persisting is /mnt, but I also use an older version of pictrs(0.3.1). Think the newer version uses a different path.
I also needed to add the following for the pictrs container to work correctly.
securityContext:
runAsUser: 991
runAsGroup: 991
fsGroup: 991
For container orchestration, which is mostly what k8s provides, then you could use docker swarm or nomad. You could use docker-compose with multiple replicas of the wanted container + a load balancer to divide the load.
In general I don’t think k8s/k3s is needed for hosting lemmy yet, but since I have a setup for k3s, it is easier for me to use it.
I have only 1 container of pictrs running(with no scaling) and are using longhorn for storage, so if the pictrs container switches node, then longhorn handles it for me.
You can definitely have high availibillity without kubernetes, but its easier(For me atleast) with kubernetes.
My instance has 2 users. The domain name is endlesstalk.org
I host it on a k3s cluster with 2 nodes.
When I joined Lemmy I decided I wanted to engange with the community here on Lemmy, since I on Reddit I just lurked, so I’m much more active here.
My setup is running in k8s.
I have autorestic running in a container in a pod. The container mounts the volumes from the pod, I want to have backed up. It then runs every 6 hours(easily changed via a cron expression).
The config in autorestic describes the backends(servers), that it should backup to. Currently I have 3 servers, that it is backing everything up to.
I have also added extra functionallity to autorestic, to make it create a dump of a database before the backup runs.
I also thought about using AWE SES, but I decided not to use it, since I was “sandboxed”(See more here).
I decided to use MXRoute, which have worked great for me so far. It is more expensive(50$ per year), than purelymail and Migadu, but for me reliabillity is very important, so I don’t mind paying a bit extra for it.
I don’t think that App-daemon can automations, that homeassistant alone can’t. I just think it is easier and simpler to create more complicated automations in App-daemon, since I can script everything in Python.

Ubuntu server(Xeon CPU E5-2650 v4 with 86 GB Ram) running k3s(My home server):
2 Ubuntu servers running k3s(VPS used for my infrastructure services)
Infrastructure services runing on all servers
Lastly I’m hosting Lemmy on a leftover VPS, that I hadn’t used in a while. Might move to a bigger server though.
