It was created from scratch by SDF user laemeur who is a graphic artist/illustrator. We made stickers based off this design that are available in the https://sdf.org/?store

Here is where we’re at now.

• increased cores and memory, hopefully we never touch swap again
• dedicated server for pict-rs with its own RAID
• dedicated server for lemmy, postgresql with its own RAID
• lemmy-ui and nginx run on both to handle ui requests

Thank you for everyone who stuck around and helped out, it is appreciated. We’re working on additional suggested tweaks from the Lemmy community and hope to let lemmy.world try to DoS us again soon. Hopefully we’ll do much better this time.

Migrating to newer hardware with more memory and cpus pict-rs are being replicated, so you may see some images missing. Please be patient. If you have login/logout issues be sure to completely dump your browser cache to resolve that.

We are working on improving load balancing today and distributing the instance across multiple servers. As a result, you may see some timeouts, thank you for your patience.

https://matrix.sdf.org is available to SDF members. There should be further details documented by the community at https://wiki.sdf.org regarding all of the social networking efforts at SDF.

Here is what SDF’s Toad-2 looked like prior to its installation.

Whatever you want. Since its a semi-private instance you can create and moderate your own communities.
