Federation is broken.
It’s been broken for days - and that’s not to say for months, because I charitably include the few hours it worked again lately for some reason.
I don’t know if other instances are that thoroughly broken, because the rest of Lemmy seems to be chugging along just fine. It’s just us poor SDF user suckers.
And no-one gives a rat’s ass.
Truly pathetic…
It is frustrating. My only recourse is to shitpost until the uplink is recovered.
It’s called venting. Because when I pay for a service and I’m not getting it, sometimes I feel like venting.
It wasn’t a criticism, I was commiserating. I personally am shitposting to other local communities.
I think the problem is that we have only one admin, /u/SDF@lemmy.sdf.org , and they aren’t very active here. Their last post was 4 months ago.
I have no idea who has access to install software updates. Maybe also just @SDF?
Maybe it’s time to take applications to expand the roster? I assume @SDF has many other things in their life, and generally speaking, having only one person who can manage a service is just asking for extended downtime.
This seems to be the issue accross all SDF instances.
lemmy.sdf.org
lemmy.sdfeu.org
lemmy.sdfin.org
lemmy.sdfcn.org (completely down at the moment)
lemmy.sdfjp.org (completely down as well)
Is /u/SDF@lemmy.sdf.org (/u/SDF.sdf.org) the correct way to ping or is it @SDF@lemmy.sdf.org (@SDF@lemmy.sdf.org)? I’m not sure I’ve ever successfully pinged before.
I could be wrong but I think this is a general issue within the SDF. It’s an incredible organization and I value my membership in it very highly but I wish it were easier to pitch in and volunteer to make things better.
I think I’ll give lemmy.ml a shot. It’s run by the Lemmy developers so seems like chances are good it’ll continue to function properly :)
Ah well, we live in an imperfect world. I’m grateful for them in any case! :)
Not as of yesterday, no.
And that’s fine, I certainly have no shortage of things to occupy my time, I’d just hoped to be able to help make the SDF even more awesome :)
I’m giving up on this Lemmy FWIW. I signed up over at lemmy.ml
So that’s why I’m suddenly not getting replies on my posts?
I started looking for an SDF alternative just yesterday, to see if SDF was broken again. So thanks for the post. Guess I will carry on with another account. I’m thinking lemmy.ca.
I might be tempted to jump ship, too, but what I love about SDF’s Lemmy is their reluctance to ban entire other instances. I, and not my instance’s admin, am the one who should have that right in the fediverse.
Do you know another instance that is admined similarly? I have accounts on a few servers but I think they have all been involved in various defederation drama in the past.
Edit: I found this, haven’t looked it over yet but hoping to find an alternative to put in my stable of lemmy logins
Sad…
