I saw the impressive setup used by the sh.itjust.works instance with 24 CPUs and 64 GB RAM. This inspired me to reconfigure join-lemmy.org so that it can quickly update the instance list, and point users to sites which are actually reachable. This will be an immense help if a lot of Reddit users decide to join Lemmy at once (e.g. during the blackout on Monday). Individual instances will likely go down at that time, but others will stay available and users can easily join them.
Additionally, changes to the site, documentation and translations are also updated automatically. If you see anything that can be improved, consider making a contribution to help new users.
Wow great!! Again appreciate all the work you and your team do!

Great work on the updates!
I do have a feeling that the “x users / month” stat with each instance on the instance list under sells activity on instances. Might I suggest displaying total users as well? Perhaps even posts and comments to further illustrate overall usage to a perspective user.
That would favor older instances, I dont think its a real solution.
