Are there any Discord servers or somewhere in the Matrix to chat about hosting a Lemmy instance? I've got Lemmy running, but I think there are several of us in the same boat struggling with federation performance issues and it might be good to have some place to chat real time.

Ok- sorry- I 100% missed that.

I am onboard with you now.

Hopefully the upcoming 0.18 release I keep hearing about helps compensate for a few of these issues...

Quick skim through the commits on the master branch, I don't see many changes pertaining to federation. This one looks interesting/related, but I think in itself only tells server admins when to increase worker counts: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/commit/25275b79eed0fb1fe90d27c197725f510f9965bb

Don't know if they changed it or not-

But, I am busy making a few kubernetes manifests for deploying lemmy- and I am noticing a ton of extra debugging / logging that doesn't need to be there for production use.

Seriously doubt it's going to fix the issue- but, reducing some of the debugging enabled by default, wouldn't hurt.

100% with you. A lot of the current deployment are very development centric... Let's pretend the default docker-compose.yml isn't opening up the postgres DB to the internet with a generic password...

The pace the entire system must mature to enable the platform to handle the hopeful upcoming growth is... interesting, to say the least...

Well, if I can knock out a decent helm chart for these manifests, it might actually help a bit-

Most of the components can scale quite easily on k8s. The only piece I am unsure of currently, is lemmy itself.

The lemmy-ui scales. Appears mostly stateless. pictrs scales. postgres scales.
