  • The gotcha for this is that you have to actually use the resources on your free instance or they will reclaim it. I use my instance as a Minecraft server so it utilizes about half of the 24GB RAM you get. For a very light compute task like a chat bot, it might be difficult to keep the instance from being reclaimed.

    From this page:

    Idle Always Free compute instances may be reclaimed by Oracle. Oracle will deem virtual machine and bare metal compute instances as idle if, during a 7-day period, the following are true:

    CPU utilization for the 95th percentile is less than 15% Network utilization is less than 15% Memory utilization is less than 15% (applies to A1 shapes only)

    I think it’s OK for them to try and sell extras, but I do agree that it shouldn’t be the first thing on the downloads page. At least put the paid and free options side by side, then have the lite version down below that.












  • It is pretty convoluted how you subscribe to communities across instances. I figured it out eventually, but I am seeing the question pop up all over the place across lemmy.

    This is why Lemmy will never see widespread adoption, which may be a good thing.

    If Lemmy can become a place for REAL discussion around hobbies and niche topics like technology (sysadmin, etc.), I would prefer to stay here. Reading the same canned replies over and over on popular Reddit boards gets really old after a while.

    The problem is content generation. Without enough people interested in posting to promote discussion, Lemmy will just sink back into obscurity similarly to how Mastodon was fun to talk about, but hard to get people to actually use.
