Instance Updates - 06/12/2023
Not much has changed today. Email verification is now disabled as we seem to have hit some bug where it just craps out until the Docker pods are restarted, I'm probably going to leave this disabled unless we start getting some large influx of spam users.
Default theme has also been changed to Darkly - Red which feels a bit more reminiscent of Reddit.
Some thoughts on image uploads
Image storage remains my primary concern for instance scalability. I am fairly limited on local storage since the server running this instance is all-NVMe, so if the /pictrs volume fills up too much, I will have to connect a cloud disk. Rather than totally disabling image uploads (which would also mean no avatars), I'm leaning towards setting something like a 400kb limit for all uploads. This is still TBD and may wind up being unnecessary if I can find some cheap option.

You are a champ, and thank you for dark theme!
Please don't hesitate to throw up a donation/buy me a coffee button in a sticky post (if sticky exists on lemmy idk)
Gotta use dark mode everywhere! The white theme was a little too blinding for me...
I may toss a donation link on the sidebar (or a stickied post) eventually, but if we do anything I'd probably want to limit the max amount, and have a way to track everything for a monthly donors post here on [email protected]. This instance is on hardware I'm already paying for so it isn't costing me anything extra as of right now.
