Over the next week or so I’m sure a lot of people are going to try spinning up Lemmy instances - I’ve certainly been looking at it.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a VPS provider / resource allocation?

From what I have read, it sounds like you’re going to want a host that focuses on storage / bandwidth (at least if you are allowing image upload), but maybe those of you already operating an instance have a different opinion?

      There’s some talks about out-wards federation issues in which messages on big instances such as lemmy.world aren’t federating outwards. Do you mind sharing the CPU and memory data from Zabbix? Also, do you have NTP configured on the server? I’ve seen a couple people, myself also included, seen “Header is expired” messages in our logs during federation, implying something is backed up or timing is off. I’m curious if the issues are server performance related, or time related, or something else all together.
