We have a uptime thats beyond reasonable, there were some smaller problems some days ago, but they just made things a little slower.
And Lemmyml is full of tankies.
There are however many other instances as well, being on many small ones eases the burden for all and makes single point of failure problems less likely.
100% agree. I’m yet to notice programming.dev go down which makes sense when you consider the target demographic and that the admins probably fit right into it.
If you think lemmy.ml is full of tankies, you should check out https://lemmygrad.ml and https://hexbear.net. They are a hundred times worse
The two others are defederated by most because they are mostly actual commie nazis than anything else.
Just an anecdote, but I’ve been waiting for (I think) close to 36 hours for the email verification to complete my sign-up there. Since there’s no way to resend it, I’ve been stuck in sign-up limbo.
I’ve tried creating two accounts with the same issue. One with a Gmail address and one with a Fastmail account. Neither has received a verification email. I’ve checked the spam folders on both too.
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.
It’s not just about users though, we need to separate communities as well. There are so many communities on lemmy.world currently.
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.
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?
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.
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.
Would be great if people spread out a bit.
