Suggestion for "relay" Lemmy instance for personal use?

3 years ago by itpcc to c/selfhosted

I've been in Lemmy for a month and I'm quite enjoy using the service.

However, after the mass migration on both Reddit and Twitter, I feel like the services are now significantly slower than they used to be. So I'm wondering whether I should have some kind of personal CDN/relay service for "caching" information especially medias or just create a new instace and federated to public Lemmy instance?

FYI, I have a private OpenVPN served on DO and 1L "server" that run Proxmox for existing services to my home. Should be okay to have a Nginx reverse proxy, right?

I’ve noticed that both Lemmy and Mastodon are slow as shit.

You're on lemmy.world, it's been overloaded for days.

My private instance has been as snappy as can be, everything loads instantly. That's one of the nice features is if your instance has trouble you can just use another one.

Don't join the largest instances then. Lemmy.world is over loaded and mastodon.social is historically overloaded.
