They must be those cool folks from r/onguardforthee and r/fredericton! Lets get off those american Reddit servers eh!
Update: there’s a thread on r/buycanadian with 93 upvotes, promoting the platform! Open the floodgates baby!
I think I found Lemmy from r/EhBuddyHoser, sweet find!
May I ask which post has lead you here?
I’ll still learning how to use it and I don’t know what the lemmys are or how the communities work but I’m happy I’m not supporting Reddit eh
Fuckin’ a. Welcome
Just joined today. Happy to be here and away from reddit!!
Good on you mate. Welcome
You made it to safety! Welcome!
Good day, eh!
Struth, mate!
…wait
after seeing a thread on r/buycanadian saying “petition to rename the Americano, a Canadiano” I knew the next step was to head over here & make an account lol
If you’re talking coffee, Australia calls that a long black, though some are trying to import “americano” to mean “like a long black, but add the coffee before the water”
That’s enough reddit for one day!
Yesssss! So cool!
Your account is as fresh as bread!
Lol, I hope that’s a good thing.
I still hear the crunch. You’re good bread!
Lol, phew, good!
It’s a new world for me too. Thanks for having me.
It’s is a bit embarrassing to admit, but this is the first time I’ve cried during our national anthem.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!I challenge every newbies to create 1-3 posts over the first 72 h here : what do you enjoy in social media usually? It doesn’t have to be perfectly new if it’s new on Lemmy: your favourite Reddit group isn’t represented here or silent for a while : show us a glimpse of what you like and see how much engagement you receive.
That’s awesome
All the new people are pretty cute!
Congrats
We’re going for the stars!
I do a double-take when I see somebody noticing social media stats.
Hi! If you need reliable canadian hosting for lemmy.ca let me know. I am a co-founder of a Canadian Cloud and I will be happy to provide the infra for free. We are happy to help canada going out of American Corporation. If you are interested, let me know!
That’s so great yo, thank you from all fediversians
Also sorry from all USAians with brains 😭 srsly
Let’s talk =)
Let the collaborations begin ;)
Let us know if you get this setup!
Can I pay you in maple syrup?
That’s almost more stable than the canadian dollars these days, I might consider ;)
Supplied from beautiful Quebec!
Quebec really is beautiful. Haven’t been in ages, would love to go back one day.
There’s great fishing in Quebec.
And cheese!
rare hockey cards only, chum
Congrats. Canada needs to build its own social media infrastructure.
They should also build a wall so our stupid stays south of their sovereign border.
Not all of us are stupid. Just a majority. No more than 3/4. Maybe. On a really good day.
Let’s just put the argument to rest by becoming Canadian. Please?
I did some playing around with grafana. This data is all just number of signups per day, grouped by instance.
Here you can see our recent spike in users compared to normal:
Adding in some other large instances we all got an increase in traffic, but ours seems to be more sustained:
And for completeness, compared to all of lemmy (as visible by lemmy.ca, so only things we federate with):
Reddit’s announced some more changes but I suspect the whole tariff situation is pushing Canadians extra hard.
Is this grafana public? I’d like to check for jlai.lu, we also had a recent influx of users.
No, I want to start exposing a grafana instance but for now I’m keeping this internal since it hits our live postgres.
The query if you want it is:
SELECT DATE(published AT TIME ZONE 'UTC') AS date, COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE instance_id IN (SELECT id FROM instance WHERE domain = 'lemmy.ca')) AS lemmy_ca, COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE instance_id IN (SELECT id FROM instance WHERE domain = 'sh.itjust.works')) AS sh_itjust_works, COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE instance_id IN (SELECT id FROM instance WHERE domain = 'lemmy.world')) AS lemmy_world, COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE instance_id IN (SELECT id FROM instance WHERE domain = 'lemmy.dbzer0.com')) AS dbzer0, COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE instance_id IN (SELECT id FROM instance WHERE domain = 'jlai.lu')) AS jlai_lu, count(*) as all_lemmy FROM person GROUP BY 1 ORDER BY 1;Or here’s your instance overlayed with us to provide a comparison:
Nice, thank you!
A suggestion from someone who frequently deals with observability infrastructure: it’s a good idea to set up a postgres exporter and record your data as Prometheus metrics, that way querying the metrics does not hit any of the production stack.
Prometheus is the goat, and is built into a surprisingly large amount of FOSS service tools. JupyterHub for example includes Prometheus metrics out of the box
Eh. Calling it the goat is excessive. I’m planning to go victoriametrics instead.
Yes the exporter format is common and widely supported though, which is nice.
