Its that time again

I actually migrated to lemmy.ca, eh, since lemmy.world is down half the fucking time. I have enemies to destroy, and I don’t got time for that shit.

Lemmy.ca is the superior instance and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

is it canada or california based? or is it neither and just the domain they happened to pick?

Question: when an instance is down do its posts just not show up on other instances it’s federated with?

I’m guessing all the shitposts that don’t load on 196@blahaj for me are from users on overloaded instances, because when I post there, the image is uploaded to my home instance and referenced in that post on the ‘foreign’ instance. Plenty of error placeholders there lately. Concerning your question: I think a community gets delayed into your feed if its server federates slowly or not at all until it is up again. I see sudden post batches appear in my feed sometimes and unseen posts from hours ago.

Are those enemies the Lemmy.world servers?

Use small instances. I’ve never had trouble on lemdro.id.

This is the way.

Don’t join big instances. There should be no main instance. Join small instances. Spread the load

That’s what she said

How do I even find other instances? Not trying to sound like a turd, I just legitimately haven’t looked into it at all yet

If lemmy.ml is accepting signups I heartily recommend it.

You could use lemmyverse.net to look what instances and communities there are

I think it usually just involves look around the comment sections. People are like “I’m on this instance, it’s good blah blah blah.”

In my case though I chose lemdro.id because it’s an instance that centers around a topic I’m interested in.

Ah yes, so they have another large instance to ddos

Use smaller instances like lemmy.zip or lemm.ee. You know, the entire point of decentralization.

Isn’t lemm.ee running on commercial hardware designed to take much larger server loads?

What do you think the other ones are running on? i386s in someone’s basement?

Most instances are run on a rented vps. But no vps is going to take well to a constant ddos

Like every other instance?

It’s not just about users though, we need to separate communities as well. There are so many communities on lemmy.world currently.

Lemmy needs a refpost system where you can choose to post articles to different instances that link together.

You then can get all the benefits of centralization without necessarily being centralized.

This. I feel like world isn’t prioritizing the health of the entirety of Lemmy by not closing community creation.

Isn’t that up to the creators though. If world is their home instance, why would they create elsewhere? Not being able to create communities would kind of defeat the purpose.

If creators want engagement, they will create on subs with more uptime. That will likely be world in the future, when hardened. The ddos attacks aren’t good for Lemmy now, but it should iron out some wrinkles in the long run for all instances. I think the world admins are doing a great job, both technically and communication wise.

How long will it take, do you think, for lemm.ee to become one of the bigger instances? I keep seeing people mention it, and that’s why I’m here.

lemm.ee is larger than lemmy.ml by active users monthly, as such it’s already the second largest instance. Don’t let the “total users” number confuse you: lemmy.ml is ancient and is bound to have many inactive accounts.

It still has one eighth the users of world. World is just absolutely huge compared to the rest.

Wow, didn’t know that. Makes sense why I see so many lemm.ee users then

Ig it shouldn’t be recommended as a smaller instance then

I don’t know why Hexbear’s numbers are all blank (because it’s newly federated?) but I would expect it to take second or third place.

lemmy.sdf.org is a nice instance.

Rules:

Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
