- Comment on Is lemm.ee hosted in the US? (FediDB info) 5 weeks ago:
Our servers are all hosted in Finland indeed, but we use Cloudflare for DDoS protection etc. Clients/bots/scripts/etc (like FediDB) don’t see our server IP addresses directly, they see Cloudflare IP addresses. FediDB uses the IP address it sees to assume what country the server is in.
The same is true for a bunch of other Lemmy servers as well - a lot of the ones FediDB shows as “United States” are actually hosted in Europe (or elsewhere).
- Comment on 🤔 Does my Lemmy instance support video streaming? 2 months ago:
It’s very unlikely lemm.ee will ever be a suitable host for video content. Please host your videos on other platforms, embedding them on lemm.ee posts will work just fine.
- Comment on 2025-03-15 Unplanned lemm.ee downtime 2 months ago:
Definitely not 😄

Hey, there isn’t any default community right now. There are a few different databases that track graphs of such things, for example, fedidb.org.
- Comment on Welcome, new users! 2 months ago:
Thank you very much for the support!
Our infrastructure costs are currently quite stable at around 200€ per month, and considering that the instance is right now quite decently supporting nearly 6000 monthly active users, you could say that you are indeed relatively contributing a ton - you are effectively covering server costs for 60 people!
The fact that it’s a monthly amount is particularly great, because with recurring income, we will get advanced warning if there is danger of funds starting to run low.
- Comment on Welcome, new users! 2 months ago:
We had a 2-3 really huge days in 2023, but other than those, it seems like the growth so far in March is definitely outpacing our initial wave of new users in 2023.

The e-mail successfully went out from our side - please check your spam filters etc
- Comment on Potential email verification issue due to a post promoting Lemm.ee on /r/BuyFromEu 2 months ago:
It’s the correct error code (the client is sending a bad request - it’s an already used token), the problem is just that Lemmy UI doesn’t really display a useful error page to the user.
- Comment on Potential email verification issue due to a post promoting Lemm.ee on /r/BuyFromEu 2 months ago:
That’s just Lemmy behavior for when you click the e-mail verification link multiple times. It basically means “e-mail already verified”.

Could you upload an example image which does not work somewhere else and share it with me so I can try to reproduce the issue?

Hey, I saw this ping, but I didn’t actually get any message from you about CORS headers. Where did you contact me?
- Comment on Please add more characters to the username or a pronoun selector 9 months ago:
Hey, the 20 character limit for display names is hardcoded into Lemmy. Even if we changed this for lemm.ee, it would not work through federation, as other instances would not accept such a long display name.
- Comment on Can I turn off the right-side nav bar. 9 months ago:
There isn’t any way to do this with the default lemmy-ui unfortunately
- Comment on 2024-07-18 lemm.ee downtime 10 months ago:
For now, I just redeployed all of our servers completely, but as I don’t know the actual root cause of the issue yet, I’m still investigating to figure out if anything more is needed.
- Comment on 2024-07-18 lemm.ee downtime 10 months ago:
Sorry for the delay in updating the status page - I actually had gone out for lunch just a few minutes before the downtime started, so I didn’t even realize anything was up until I was back at my computer about 45 minutes later 💀
- Comment on 2024-07-18 lemm.ee downtime 10 months ago:
Actually, we’re using Hetzner’s cloud load balancer for lemm.ee. But if this issue repeats in the near future, then I will definitely consider setting up something else.
- Comment on 2024-07-18 lemm.ee downtime 10 months ago:
There are two useful sections on status.lemm.ee for this - firstly, there is an automated check for federation with all other instances on the bottom of the page, and everything there being red is a definite sign that something is wrong with lemm.ee itself. Secondly, near the top of that page, I will always write a status message manually when I discover & start work on any issues. This second part can have a bit of a delay, as it requires manual input from myself, but I have updated it every time we had any issues so far.
- Comment on lemm.ee slowness 10 months ago:
I believe I discovered and fixed one cause for intermittent slow page loads, but please let me know if you notice it again in the near future

- Comment on Is there ever going to be a way to post images from this instance? 11 months ago:
The maximum limit for images hosted directly in lemm.ee is always visible in the sidebar of our front page. The limit stands at 500kb per image currently.
It’s also possible to post larger images in comments, they just have to be hosted externally. The markdown for this is
