Yes I know they’re getting DDoSed, I’m just messing around
Lemmynsfw: spread the load, you say?
Your username is one r away from demonstrating obvious bias when it comes to loads, though…
I have several alts. This is not the primary one. Did I get the joke right
Stop flocking to the core worlds, join the fringe! We have the same amenities… Only downside is browsing by All is less diverse
Well, as long as the server is decently large enough it should be fine Like lemm.ee or sopuli.xyz
No no no no no. We don’t want to people to join and enjoy our near 100% uptime. Also be warned that lemm.ee isn’t de-federated with lemmynsfw so you’ll get PORN on your all feed. The horror. Steer clear.
I look at lemmy.world all occasionally to get a sense of what I’m interested in but don’t know it yet. Then I subscribe to help expand the variety for everyone. Not that lemm.ee is all that small
lemm.ee probably has a virtually identical /all to lemmy.world, right? They’ve got like 20k users
Virtually identical absolutely. But in my personal experience over the last few months, I see content that’s in lemmy.world that’s not on lemm.ee
For a while, because content was more thin, I’d run through all of active, then all of hot, then I’d look at lemmy.world just to see if there was content I hadn’t seen yet
So I don’t know enough about the inner workings, but on Reddit I never browsed all at all - it was 100% communities I’d subscribed to. At the moment I’m happy with Lemmy All, but if in the future when content gets too much, would I say, be able to host my own instance in my Android device and my subscriptions will just pull in the content I’m interested in? That way I am not putting load on other instances, and I can take my configuration with me without needing a cloud service?
what if every instance used the lemmy community seeder?
Check out lemmyverse.net and look at instances
Content fringe world inhabitant here:
Why is our All tab less diverse?
Is it not just dependent on how many instances your instance is federating with?
The main issue is that Lemmy instances, by default, only know about their local communities and remote communities that the users of that server have deliberately subscribed to. Some smaller instances are running federation helpers which are bots that search for remote communities to fix this.
All is based on what people on that instance are subscribed to most, not just federation
Can you explain this? Why? If I follow the same communities that in the bigger instance?
Your subscribed will be the same. All will differ as it grabs everything everyone on that instance is subscribed to.
Ex. If you’re on lemmyworld you’ll see everything there by default but if you swap to instance X and nobody in x is subbed to niche.community@lemmyworld then it won’t be brought to your All
Apparently it’s a wannabe powermod who got banned after squatting a ton of community names. There was a post from the admins saying that he’s creating garbage communities, with a quarter of all communities being those at one point.
Who you are talking about is indeed an option because he was genuinely pissed off… He created scripts to create thousands of communities so we set up rate limits 😁 But there are plenty more who don’t want LW to succeed. Be it banned users, defederated instances or just someone with too much time looking to take down the biggest instance.
There was also a (now banned) reddit mod who used to moderate gamingcirclejerk there and she demanded me to hand over the gamingcirclejerk community on LW to her. To just take it from the current team. I said no but I can be a middleman but she wanted none of that. She wanted the red carpet laid out ‘because reddit mod’ so she had the right to it 🙄 She was also a very known user on an instance we recently defederated with.
So just wanted to clear that up here. We have suspicions but no proof. Thanks for your support 🫶
I just jumped to another instance. Feels good now that stuff loads again. This sucks right now, but it’s probably good for Lemmy in the long run. Load should be spread across instances, and this forces people to move. I’ve also noticed that I now see some stuff that I couldn’t anymore on Lemmy.world, so it’s better overall.
Due to me only really using my phone for 3rd party youtube and lemmy, I decided, after thinking the other day “if .world goes down again, I’m gonna create an alt just as a backup.”
And then it happened last kigjt, so I’ve made 3 new ones, just as a safety backup. Now I’ve heard of LASIM. It was super easy.
When lemmy.world goes down, I use the time it is down to do other things. Like read, spend more quality time with my pets, learn something new, or just go outside and touch some grass.
During the Reddit protest I got a professional certification. It’s amazing what you can do when you’re not doomscrolling…
