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.
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.
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?
It’s not just about users though, we need to separate communities as well. There are so many communities on lemmy.world currently.
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.
lemmy.sdf.org is a nice instance.
Meanwhile me on lemmy.zip -
