Please Don’t Be a Lurker!
Made an acc recently because most other instances are too eager to defederate. Lovely place!
Question: since you are incorporated in Wales, what do you expect to do with the OSA (nevermind its extraterritoriality)? Wait for Ofcom to notice?
Another: why is Piefed using 4x less memory than Lemmy? Number of users?

In terms of the OSA, there is already detection in place for UK IP addresses to prevent them connecting to the site and instead forward them to uk.lemmy.zip - I will at some point need to do the same for Piefed. This takes the sites outside of the OSA so I dont need to comply. The data is all hosted in the EU but having the misfortune to be a UK citizen myself I need to take that extra step.
In terms of the memory, its a bit misleading because the lemmy server is by far our most powerful, so we run a bunch of other stuff on there too, including backend admin tools, Oauth, grafana, matrix etc. So memory consumption will be much higher. Lemmy i think is a bit more performant than piefed but only anedotally, I dont have the comparison to back that up.
