Lemmy doesn't provide any analytics. Give this post a like and/or comment if you use this instance. I'm trying to gauge usage by humans.

I'll let this census run for about a week to gauge usage.

Results might cause different changes to the services.

I'm doing this because the cost of running this instance is higher than most other instances due to reliability and disaster recovery implementations. I'm curious if I should back down many of these costs if we're not used fully. I don't see much activity directly in this instance.

I know that discuss.online wasn't listed on join-lemmy.org for about a month due to a bug with the Lemmy crawler. They just recently fixed it with their redesign. We are now listed but no longer featured.

tl;dr; is this instance dying? Let me know if you're here.

I'm here and very much in favour of scaling down versus having the money run dry. As others have stated I prefer this small instance because it allows for freedom. I can perfectly block an instance if I don't like it, I don't need it decided for me due to defederation, that's the opposite of freedom. Do appreciate your efforts to keep the very worst out.
